Trump just tweeted that yesterday's stunt by Pence was "long planned" and is being "praised"

The asshole is boasting that he wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to send his puppet to a game solely for a stunt.

What kind of a f**ked up childhood did that man have to be so obsessed with praise? And how come his siblings all manage to function with no public profile?

For those who haven't payed attention to these frauds for the past 30 years, anyway.
Granted, many of the cult are fine with this kind of behavior, as long as Dear Leader and his lackeys do it.
