Which Is Sillier? What Trumpanzee*, Jr. Wants Or What Kris Kobach Wants?
( Plying the disparaging remarks to make a perception of reduced mental capacity for another sly weasel. Related to the 'Chimperator' perhaps ? )

His father did. But, basically, New York City was not Trump country in 2016. This was his Papa Trump's borough breakdown: *•* Bronx- 9.6% *•* Brooklyn- 17.9% *•* Manhattan- 10.0% *•* Queens- 22.1% *•* Staten Island- 57.2% ... more »
