The judge presiding over the drug kingpin’s trial said he was responsible for bringing 400 tons of cocaine into the US. That’s 800,000 pounds. Yet Trump slapped tariffs on Canada over what was officially known at the time to be 47 pounds of fentanyl crossing into the US from Canada.

At one point, I seem to remember that we learned and Trump bragged that he had a CALCIUM SCORE of 133, diagnosed sometime in the past. The optimum calcium score is 0. So either the calcium in his coronary arteries (think plaques and blockages) vanished, or I know, you’re shocked, they’re lying.
