So let me get this straight

During the campaign, Hillary was the "most corrupt candidate ever", so corrupt she "shouldn't be allowed to run." But now that he won, Trump says that despite his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her, he is not going to do so because he "doesn't feel strongly about it." Shouldn't a candidate who ran on a promise to "drain the swamp" feel strongly about bringing someone so corrupt to justice? If he really thinks she committed crimes, he ought to follow through on his promise to have her investigated. And if he doesn't think she's really so corrupt, then he ought to apologize for lying about her and encouraging his supporters to yell "lock her up" and inciting hatred against her for over a year.

He's a con man, pure and simple; he doesn't intend to keep any promises that don't directly benefit his businesses and/or his ego. That's the way he's always operated.

I would never hang out with a jackoff like Trump, let alone vote for him for President.
So if you did, fuck you too.
