Trump needs to be studied.

The top colleges in the country need to create classes about Trump. How did we create a country where someone like Trump cannot only survive, he can thrive. Trump is stupid, a lousy liar, a lousy con man and yet he became president. Something is wrong.

they thought he was funny, he wasn't that bitch, lesbian pant suit wearing Hillary, he talks and sounds like them, he won't take away their guns, he's a brilliant business man and of course he wasn't black. How can that thinking ever be changed.
