Trump Is Spilling All the Tea Because He’s a Messy Bitch
President Donald Trump is the friend you tell a secret to, a secret that clearly is directly connected to you, and when you hear that secret come back to you, you know exactly who said it, and when you question him, he defends it by saying, “But I never said your name, though.” During a…
