Just maybe the jug-eared jackass would get more respect if he acted like a President worth respecting.

Never heard of Ronald Reagan or George Bush????

Why is the Washington Post allowing 6 yr olds to write articles? Only a 6 yr old would not know who these President’s were.

I notice that the left are on a rampage this morning, they finally have an article that they can vent their outrage over.
Good for them.

Stopped right there.

How easy the left forgets the "selected, not elected" meme from the 2000 election.
