But being in NJ, I could do a version of it.

In thinking things over, I’ve kind of come to the same conclusions as Mr Scorpio. This nation is not what we liberals thought it was. It has a sizable contingent of mentally disturbed people who have elected the ideal leader for their ugly emotions.

Trump is ideal because he is incompetent. No matter how he tries to enact their plans, he will eff it up. Instead of it being about Project 25, it will be about him.
