Is this the same Washington Post that takes millions of $$$$ from Communist China to publish their propaganda as news?

In every picture of her she looks like she is suffering from severe depression.

So ... the reader of the leaked document wasn’t curious that the statement accredited to the Trump team used the pronoun “he” instead of her actual “she” pronoun?

She is the latest “Teen Queen” pop star. She fit the suit. (Brady Bunch reference there)

I think you are confusing her. Isn’t she the one who always wears baggy clothes?

In interviews of her, she also appears to be suffering from severe depression.

Ah, a young 20ish airhead with no clue of reality. Trump’s statement will probably have some impact on the 13-17 age voting group.

I like some of her music, and I could be a fan. She’s an anti-Trumper so I won’t make the effort. It’s the same with Jennifer Lawrence. Not worth the effort.
