During Tuesday night’s presidential debate sh*tshow–foodfight–hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a trainwreck–national embarrassment, U.S. President and petulant toddler Donald J. Trump was asked if he would denounce white supremacy, and ask racist self-styled armed “militia” gangs like the “Proud Boys” to stand down.The president declined to condemn white supremacy, then ordered his Proud Boy thugs to “stand back and stand by” for future action.
What country is this again?
