Um… back to school, folks! Trump’s got a fair amount of competition on that front (hello, slaveholders!), so let’s just say… “in the last decade…” https://t.co/QWWI1c7IrZ

This is pretty awesome. @ProjectLincoln is the kid in class who shouts something absurd then looks around for approval and everyone just shakes their head. pic.twitter.com/fjo7nLGM4p
