Trump lies a lot. About as much, in fact, as he promises.

The only people stupid enough to believe this were the idiots who voted for him again.

They show how idiotic they are by responding to these kinds of things with ridiculous statements like "still better than if Harris had won..."

"still better than if Harris had won..."

If Harris had won, the Haitians would have eaten every pet in the country by now.

Dog is overpriced in North America. They might do the free range cats though. Though I have heard some won't eat it as they think it is Gay.

If Harris had one, half our Trumpers would have died of apoplexy by now.

The other half would still be saying that Trump won.
