And then there was the time when Donald Trump explained to his teenage daughter, as they breezed by a beggar on Fifth Avenue (without of course aiding the man), that *he* was actually poorer than that guy, because he was in bankruptcy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SUCH A WIT.

I love shit stains like this. They act all superior until they crash their car, a family member becomes sick or injured, or their house has a fire. All of sudden, a bunch of blue collar firefighters show up, do our best to resolve the emergency, all while being empathetic and compassionate, even if your are an asshat turdblossom.

I want no part of what he believes is reality.
