i specifically said i don’t approve of trump taking undue credit. I said i did like the way he pizzed on this guys grave, calling him a dog and a coward.

that’s not any kind of self-aggrandizement. it’s trump telling the world that a horrible, horrible person has received justice.

You can’t even allow Trump that. To you, that warrants criticism.

Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Again, you’re either intentionally dishonest or unable to grasp reality, there doesn’t seem to be a third option. god help you if he gets re-elected.
