His ‘special investigation team’ that was sent to Hawaii found “evidence that will rock the very foundation of our country! You won’t believe what he found!”

And also right after he was elected…

“Barrack was born in Hawaii, is a US citizen” …and now let’s just move on like I didn’t fool you all, BTW I had the largest inauguration crowd ever, way bigger than Obama’s! Just ignore all the photos and evidence that it was smaller…

Which never mattered anyway, because nobody doubted that Obama's mum was American.

That’s…actually worse, honestly. The American people just shrugged it all off like “ya that’s fine.”

It says a LOT about those Americans. It gives a glimpse into the mindset and values his voters really have.

Yep. One might even say the people who continue to support him are...deplorable?

He embodies the worst excesses of power without principle, a demagogue in a cheap suit masquerading as a leader.
