Thinks you might not know about the alleged American who claims to be “president”:

What even one person who knew him in high school thought about him.

What even one person who knew him in college thought about him.

What even one person who knew him in law school thought about him.

His grades in high school.

His grades in college.

His grades in law school.

Who he dated prior to appearing in the public arena.

How he paid for college and for law school.

His true motives for the destructive policies he advocates.

How he will handle the disappointment if America survives as a free country after his regime is ousted.
