It's been 10 years of watching him cry like a baby at 1:00AM about people talking about him. His supporters think this is normal behavior. And now he's threatening to sue Trevor Noah? We know you were on the island dude. He's such an infant and I can't wait until we have an adult in charge again.

Do not pass this off as the ravings of a looney, old, narcissist. These false reports are going to be used to try and corrupt the 2026 elections by increasing White House Power over the vote. It could spark off the greatest crisis in the USA since the Civil War.
