Simple question: How is it that (since he is currently POTUS) your hero has not already taken care of the problems he promises to fix? Could it be that he is largely responsible for them? And, what is the solution? Storm troopers on every corner?
Trump supporters: As the good Book says, “Have you not ears to hear? Eyes to see?” to which we might add, “Brains with which to think?”
