for someone calling the president a dumbass. He's correct but it's still sad.

sorry but that is exactly what this is according to snopes:

"On 8 February 2018, the American Voter Facebook page shared the fake “dumbass” tweet, garnering more than 18,000 shares within a few days."

I thought Elon was born on January 12, 1992 in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois.

(Figure THAT reference out.)

Elon Reeve Musk (/ˈiːlɒn ˈmʌsk/; born June 28, 1971) is a South African-born Canadian American business magnate, investor,[8][9] engineer[10] and inventor.[15][16].

I take that to mean that, after all, he's an American. That DOESN'T mean that Trump is not a dumbass. Nor does be the fact that the Tweets are fake.
