Amazing that a man who has on many occasions said how smart he is and how much he knows; yet this is the same man who “speaks” to the American people via text messages. I really really don’t think he can read. And we know he can’t write. So it makes sense that he can’t be in front of people trying to convey anything without totally screwing up the words, the pronunciations of those words and certainly can’t put a complete sentence together. His last two texts have ended with “thank you for your attention to this matter.” What? He’s really a moron.
OMFG, this asshole! He gives them a two week window and then strikes two days later? WTAF?
