  1. The shade thrown with this title 😅

    But believe me, if we had leaders in America we actually could rely on we would probably do the same for them!

    I haven’t known a President in my lifetime that was thoroughly respected by the entire population, sad reality.

  2. People are very, very morbid. To actually wait 12 hours to see a dead person? I could think of much, much, much better things to do.
