11. tRump claims that Gym does not

wear a jacket, because he is so proud of his body!! Tiny little guy looks like a junior high smartass. The gop attracts repulsive people like flies to - well you know. The extra large orange "pile" in the WH draws other repulsive people to him as though they are hypnotized. Not a decent, law abiding one in the entire group. Why do people vote for these low life politicians? It seems that the less character and decency they have, the more the gop welcomes them.
