        @sapinker @NRO An odd statement indeed as it assumes he was ever qualified in the first place...

        @sapinker @NRO you must be appalled by Obama weighing in on the side of the aggressors in cop attack incidents plus allowing ISIS genocide

        @sapinker @NRO Dam it! I thought you had found a law that said Trump couldn't be President now. Oh well I live in hope.

        @TheNormKaz @sapinker @nroyea @realDonaldTrump so not relevant, in other words. Still need source or evidence on Klan ID.

        @sapinker @NRO As I read it, as long as he hasn't done anything criminal, is over 35 and born in US, he has right to go for Presidency.

        @sapinker @NRO Trump is clearly subtextual aiding and abetting future violence. What tense is that?
