Oh snap, guess we all have no choice but to remove trump from office because of this loophole you found....wow, so close to victory but KG's deep insight and intellectual persuasion has just dismantled the Republican Party, its politicians and the voters. Im shook.
Kevin has yet to appreciate that Trump being a compulsive liar is a virtue. Maybe KG is caught up in a "crisis of the heart and soul" since he has both of those items.

Does Trump hold the world record on lying?
The speech was by no means Trump’s best effort. I’m not sure he broke the lie a minute barrier. He did cite some new factoids that I don’t know the veracity of, so I’ll have to wait for the folks who get paid to fact check to weigh in.

And no, the address wasn't very effective. It might have been, were his facts actual facts.
His appeal was way more competent than the walking dead response offered by Schumer/Pelosi. Their "flinch" was evident.

KG just doesn't like the competition.

The evidence says opposite.

Subs has yet to appreciate the fact that Trump "not being a politician" was the main that thing he had going for him. Virtually every independent I know who voted for him said this is why they did so. But since the election he has shown the world that he is worse than any politician you can imagine. You name it. Why do people hate politicians? They lie, they deceive, they insult your intelligence, they care only about themselves, etc. You name it, Trump epitomizes it.
Here he is claiming a national emergency over the wall because he wants the ignorant minority in this country to believe immigration has worsened. Reality:

And it was six people who were suspected of having something to do with someone who may be a terrorist. That's about all it takes to be put in that database. No proof of any true terrorists having ever crossed the border. We def would have heard about it.

Uh, not what I was referencing. The six was number of lies in the speech.
