Donald Trump is mindless.

Anyone disagree?

I mean, seriously?

America First WAS ALWAYS A LIE.

I think that Trump lives in a ten minute span of consciousness. Five minutes into the past and five minutes into the future.

If things don't fit within that time frame, you won't find them anywhere.

The problem is, even within those precious ten minutes he doesn't think all that well.

Why would a European steel maker donate tens of millions of dollars of steel if Trump promised to put American steel first?

Oh - haha. "Trump promised". I answered my own question.

Is he taking the steel with him to cash in on the scrap when he leaves?
