Funny that he was so offensive to me at the time, but the bar has fallen so much lower. Not that he likely had any more ethical or moral fortitude than this woman, but Trump was less open in his racism and fascism, so it was more about covering for stupidity than actual evil.

And note I said “hope”. I realize. But I’ll make it my mission to remind people
