How effed up are Deplorables? This effed up...

I am re-creating this internet conversation from memory. During the election there was a story about Trump visiting this inner city high school whose chess club had produced chess masters. He presented them with one of those fake oversized checks for one million dollars. He actually gave them two or three hundred dollars out of his pocket. I said that was messed up. The Deplorable said they should be grateful for that.

Messed up, huh?

He has not yet killed which would complete the unmasking for deplorables with a minimum of conscience.

It is debatable if this tiny minority would care.

Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.

even the Daily Mail repeated it:

‘I am ashamed to be the same species as this man’: Hillary clubs Trump with story of how he showed up at kids AIDS charity event without making a donation and stiffed a high school chess club
