He also doesn't know what a symbol is.
I'm sure this will get the "progressive" lib to turn on him finally right?

american puritanical evangelism strikes once more
Look you purity tankie-ponies, they elected Trump when they knew he had all this incriminating baggage. We can have a sus AF with less years of baggage as a treat.
