jg1 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share I'm winning no thanks to Governor Brown and California. I am a winner since my president Trump won the elections he is doing a great job and could be doing a lot better if not for all the corruption. They all want to bring him down because they do not want to stop the money train. I wis.h the wall could have gone up a little quicker. But I know he is doing the best he can under the circumstances. The wall would stop the arms the drugs the terrorist and millions upon millions and millions of illegal aliens they have processed and have not been processed. California is overflowing with people millions of people that should not be here and is causing inflation. 1300 for a one bedroom , cheapest I can find, gas prices higher freeways full Hospital full medical insurance up. But no matter what I am winning because Trump is in office. I just gasp and think about the alternative and I'm thankful Hillarious is a loser and a pathetic thing. 2 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're questioning the actual doctor's note?....a note Trump himself touted as proof of his exceptional manliness. In all seriousness, I understand Trump's base having serious doubts about the validity of the evidence proving Donald's awful character flaws. No human has ever had such a mountain of character issues come to light.....So how could it possibly be true?....I get it.
