  • Trump has no math

    Hello, why waste your time to figure out Trump’s math! He has math. 1+1=3 to him!!! It is all show no substance! He is on reality TV everyday! The only difference is we can’t just laugh about it as we are paying for his ‘show’ dearly every single day!

  • Usually good and informative, however...

    Mishal Husain has no etiquette as an interviewer. Her tone comes off as very insulting. The attitude of British journalism only works in Britain, not the real world.
