  12%. About the rock bottom of the Bush/Cheney international criminal administration. Demographic overlaps with Kardashian followers.

  At the same point in the reelection cycle, as of December 31 in the even-numbered year prior to the election year and thus about 1.75 years before the election, we have:

  $3.2 million for Bush

  $4 million for Obama

  $129 million for Trump

  That's no 12% or rock bottom, and the Kardashian nonsense has no bearing on the election. There hasn't been much inflation either, so Trump is crushing a Bush-Obama tie by a factor of 30. Sorry not-sorry to burst your bubble, but... we Americans love our President Donald J. Trump.

  What does money have to do with anything, unless you are Russian or the NRA?

  I didn't vote for Trump and don't particularly like him, but every time someone brings up the #RussiaRussiaRussia manipulative propaganda talking point, the chance I'll vote for him out of spite increases a tenth of a point.

  Stop speaking for all of us. He's a shit american. His nationalism is so fake. He'd never put his life on the line for the country.
