    “Donald Trump and his far-right ‘holy war’ against Taylor Swift could cost him the next presidential election.”

    News from a completely normal and not broken at all timeline. Imagine reading that sentence to someone 10 years ago.

      10 years ago was still 2 years left in the final Obama administration. Add on just a bit more to really drive those 2014 people crazy:

            Trump knows he’s not the smartest person in the room. Trump wants to claim to be the smartest person in the room, and enjoys watching nobody correct him.
