I just tell the people who quote that line that they're a fucking moron. Then they get all offended about 'telling it like it is'.
He lies, grifts and rapes. And they somehow have the nerve to draw parallels with other more distinguished politicians.
“By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.”
