He sounds like an SNL character who explains things unnecessarily.

"Oceans! Very big! Filled with water. Maximum deepness. Water is wet! Maximum wetness. NO DRYNESS IN THE OCEAN. NO DRYNESS!"

"Maximum deepness" just reminded me of "Maximum Derek" Happy thoughts!

the midwest. We are one of the Great Lakes states. Michigan does not support trump. The Midterms showed that. We elected all Dems at the top of the ticket: Governor, Lt Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State. Also we have 2 Dem Senators. trump is lying.

for the convoy to assemble and cruise to Cedar Point. Was stormed in for 3 days and they let us go in the park for free and take the damn kids with us. Seems like a small marina with a lot of kids running around is not what they anticipated.

If you're ever on Lake Erie, stop at Put-In-Bay. Great history and parties.

Lies repeatedly to make himself look better, and others worse. When its easily shown and found out a person lies like this , it doesn't take a bright person to understand why he's lying so much. Bait and switch , false accusations, continuously lying with outrageous claims only shows his intent at what he's doing is just another scam from this guy, and taking their money in the process out of their back pockets. Promoting lies while claiming the truth is fake news sounds more like something putin does, not an American , and especially not a president. Hillary was right about him all along.
