What's your perception of Trump? [View all]

Near as I can figure, there are seven possibilities.

  • idiot
  • con man
  • neofascist
  • autocrat
  • huckster
  • double-agent
  • patriot


    Which of the following descriptions comes closest to your perception of Cheetoh Jesus?

    (of course I've left a little room for other categories some of yall might suggest)
