- Why isn't the teleprompter working properly
- Green energy is for loooooozers
- Europe is going to hell (no we aren't)

Trump has not "stopped 7 wars". It's all a pack of nasty lies.

And the world knows it. I wonder if Americans know it?

Some of Trump's recent speeches have been circulating on social media.

My goodness is that man ever a ------- moron.

When he's not completely lying, he's just babbling incoherent --------.

What a ------- disgrace this man is, what a ------- loser.

Perfect representation of MAGA America.

The moron leading the gullible.

Trump stopped seven wars, right here in America.

He stopped the war on poverty.

He stopped the war on hunger.

He stopped the war on disease.

He stopped the war on income inequality.

He stopped the war on ignorance.

He stopped the war on intolerance.

He stopped the war on racism.

He beclowned our entire country at the UN speech.

Don Coyote tilting at windmills, crying about a Nobel, claiming that 99 percent of climate scientists are stupid, unlike himself.

Talk about your Bad Comedy.

Cracking down on comedy. I also remember the Dave Chappelle protests because he dared to make fun of the extremely mentally ill.

I think you are extremely mentally ill.

People are saying you ordered a scratch n sniff lifesize Trump poster. Is that true?

Don't worry. I let them know a 4Chan moderator doesn't have enough money for such a thing.

Plus where would you put it? Mommy probably is already unhappy you hung the anime ------- poster in her basement.

Poor lil incel

Yeah? Did the FCC get pressured by the POTUS to cancel Dave Chappelle?

Or is this another ---- whataboutism?
