Ladies and gentlemen....the President* Of The United States...

“I have a better education than them, I’m smarter than them, I went to the best schools they didn’t. Much more beautiful house, much more beautiful apartment. Much more beautiful everything. And I’m president, and they’re not.”

"Little pencil-neck Adam Schiff. He's got the smallest, thinnest neck I've ever seen. He is not a long-ball hitter."

"If Hillary got in... you'd be doing wind.Windmills. Whee-eee!And if it doesn't blow, you can forget about television for that night. 'Darling, I want to watch television.' 'I'm sorry! The wind isn't blowing.' I know a lot about wind."

I'm sorry, Mayor Pete. I don't have to "understand" the people who cheer this maniacal prattle—even though that's not particularly hard. For the good of the country, their political power has to be crushed, repeatedly, election after election, until we are sure this mockery of democracy never happens again.
