Every person, without exception, who claims they voted for King asshole “because of the economy” is lying. All of them. Not a single person voted for that criminal asswipe because of the economy. They voted for him because they wanted team white man to win and be in charge. That’s it.

Parts of him might be. But if anyone's going to get some healthcare it'd be him. I wonder if any of his progeny would give him a kidney. He may need that and maybe a heart transplant, but that's just a wild guess. Seems like being president is too stressful for the elderly. Who could have guessed?
