Ran for president one time and won, and i hear this guy who does not know me, doesnt know me at all, did not interview me. He said he interview made for three hours in the white house. It didnt exist. Way was heartened by, because i talk about fake news and the Fake News Media really was the fact that so many of the people i talk about in terms of fake news actually came to the defendants of this Great Administration and even myself because they know the author and they know hes a fraud. I never interviewed with him in the white house. He was never in the oval office. We didnt have an interview. And i did a quick interview with him a long time ago having to do with an article. I dont know this man. I guess sloppy steve brought him into the white house a long time ago and thats why sloppy steve is looking for a job. There has been no collusion, no crime.
