and the student extracurricular mock UN conventions ...but hey it is the crazy Christian guy and others in the link , that I am more alarmed about than inexperience
Oh, nd then there is the sleezeball who worked for Blackwater and whose family facts include a father who was one of the most conservative congress members ever yes ever, and John Birch society lover along with his famous sister Marykay Lauterneu
Thanks for the link but it is a nervous kind of chuckle , like please never let any of this become real!
If we do go down the rabbit hole with Trump , think of young mr P as a mock foreign policy adviser , like the mock turtle
