It is so funny that this guy goes to the palatial estates of the richest Nazis in Europe and all of them almost immediately get sick of him because he's a delusional moron given to hysterical crying fits and never shuts the fuck up. That's the Nazi wheelhouse, and he's too annoying even for that!

In public perception terms, nothing may be as big a liability to Trump as Epstein-Maxwell, so perhaps it was a problem that the 2016 campaign couldn't do anything about it because of the Clintons close personal ties to the same notorious pedophile rapist sex traffickers
