25. Damned if she did, Damned if she didn't

Mon Dec 3, 2018, 03:12 PM

Dec 2018

Reminds me of Obama's birth certificate. And his decision to call Donnie's bluff, and prove his citizenship once and for all.

But as others have said, Donnie didn't really care one way or the other on either of these accusations. It was just fodder for his "uneducated" base.

Its not like he's going to say in a press conference that he's sorry, and apologize to Warren, or Obama, for promoting the fake news he did. He is more than likely to re-tweet some InfoWars quote how Warren's DNA report was fake. And he will also, on the other hand, I'm sure, gloat to himself how he MADE Warren and Obama have to show their evidence like they did.

But its still better they both did. Weighing in that it should shut him up about it.
