The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 481 - Politics and Economics

"The Golan Heights, or Golan as I like to call it, is very important to Israel and to the US as well. Many people have been telling me to recognize it. So many people. They come up to me all the time, "Mr President, you should recognize Golan" Some people are opposed to it but they are anti-Semites and FAKE NEWS. You heard it here first folks, fake. Just like John McCain and his funeral. They begged me to allow the funeral. Begged I tell you. I didn't want him to have a funeral. I thought they should just throw the body in a ditch on the side of the road. But I allowed the funeral. No thanks from anyone though. Not a single person thanked me for allowing him to have a funeral. So blame the democrats for that."

This feels made up but I still give it a 50% chance it's real

of course not. that would be a violation of right-winger's rights to say whatever they want without debate, critique or ridicule

Just once I want to see a reporter ask basic civics questions:

“Mr. President, what is the Bill of Rights?”

“What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?”

“How many people are in Congress?”

Most americans would get all three of the above wrong. Okay, mayyybe the first one but only b/c the gun one is in it.

Remember the day where not being able to spell potato got you DQ'd from the presidency. All he had to do was be a gigantic ******* and he would've been fine.

I would bet good money trump can't answer any

less than 5% of americans know the # of congressman. I'm fairly polically informed and my best guess was 536, which is close but wrong

Yes but running for president is a popularity contest not a who's the best candidate for the job contest.
