Trump is the dream candidate for GOP

The Republican right has finally found a dream candidate for president.

He is a pompous, egotistical, and vain man. He avoided serving in the military via four draft deferments, avoided bankruptcy by filing Chapter 11, avoided showing his tax returns because he gets “audited every year” by the IRS.

He is a great family man and has had five children with three wives.

He is against immigrants except those employed by him or married to him.

If confronted by his past actions or some of his fine attributes, he will display a sarcastic, sneering, belittling attitude.

All this plus, he is a good Christian man.

If elected, he intends to build a great wall across our southern border that you can see from space!

And that will make America great again.
