Trump endorses Roy Moore....just let that sink in

fuck this 'president'

Trump chooses his own version of reality to back Moore


Washington (CNN)When reality boxes in President Donald Trump, he simply chooses his own alternative, convenient truth.

The President reached for this politically pliable tactic yet again Tuesday while effectively endorsing Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore despite allegations the outspoken judge pursued teenagers, including a girl as young as 14.

Trump noted that Moore, who has been disowned by the leadership of his own Republican Party, disputed all the allegations against him.

"He totally denies it," Trump told reporters before leaving for his Thanksgiving break in Florida, putting himself at odds with almost all of the senior leaders of his party by siding with Moore.

about sexually assaulting women, why would he not endorse Roy Moore?

They are two peas in a pod except that one pretends to be holier than thou and the other is a crude, uncouth short-fingered vulgarian.
