He STEALS memes, and presents them as his own, cutting off the creators names if they're there or never reposting the original.
Infamous for that.

There is a strong rumor/concern that there are ICE agents floating around who have been involved in sexually assaulting young men and women. These criminals are slipping through the necessary background checks. Watch your families particularly young children. This regime protects pedophiles!
