A First Lady who lied about having a college degree on her immigration application, who is married to someone who rapes children and arrests his political opponents, and has a "back door channel" to an evil despot who kidnaps children and assassinates his political opponents.

Incredible.

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

I agree. And needless to say, Peter Thiel is not clever. The name of his creepy spyware company derives from Lord of the Rings, a book he seems to believe is pro-Sauron.
