Okay so I get pretending Trump is successful because he was this real estate mogul and The Apprentice, but why do people want to listen to what Jr. and Eric have to say? People like Ivanka because she's the hot one.

I don't know why people still listen to Cokie Monster and bring him on their shows.

Ohio Wildlife Officials Give Context for Photo of Man Holding 2 Geese

A viral pic of an Ohio guy lugging around 2 geese is blowing up after Donald Trump’s bizarre pet-munching Haitian immigrant claims ... but we're told the photo’s just being twisted to fit the former prez's narrative, and what's actually going on is far less dramatic.

amp.tmz.com

The Ohio Division of Wildlife tells TMZ the real deal behind the viral pic -- the guy was actually picking up 2 geese that were hit in a Columbus car accident. And by the way, that's 45 minutes from Springfield, where Trump's wild claims supposedly took place.

Also, we're told there’s no evidence the man is an immigrant, or Haitian, or had plans to eat the geese. They make it clear the whole story’s being blown out of proportion thanks to Trump’s comments this week and his fans amplifying the narrative online.

And he's basing this on what facts? There's a big difference between poverty driven lack of education and a low IQ that would make any education ineffective.

Last I knew Canadian geese aren't an endangered species nor do they belong to any one town.

People don't think about how things can be so blown out of proportion. Think about what you post before you do it!!!!

Sometimes I really hate my country.

This. This is why crime is down since Trump. There was no reason to platform him and his insane rhetoric anymore.
