Probably something like when PIAPS called one of her advisers a &quiz;Fuc#!ng Jew Bastard," or BillyJeff told Tub Kennedy (Orca-Mass) that obama should be serving them coffee.

Just colloquial expressions you know.

Well, he had three years BEFORE Trump became President, not to mention more than a year while Trump was campaigning in a race he couldn’t possibly win. So why the wait?

Paraphrase: I have heard Trump say bad things, but I’m not really sure.

Penn Jellett, why didn’t you say anything about it in 2016? I know why, because you decided to say something now to keep you in the news! Shut the F*** Up, moron!!

Unreliable narrator? LOL - what a yawn.

Well, who’s paying Gillette to insinuate Trump said “racially insensitive” things during the Apprentice?
