Jon Stewart on Trump: “The day the electorate in this great nation we call home repudiates this putrid administration, the day that happens there will be a joyful noise from the bowels of this great country that will make Hungary’s repudiation of Orban look like an Amish Sabbath”

Trump has removed this image he posted of himself as Jesus because of the backlash from his own supporters. Please DO NOT post this far and wide as it’s best to confine it to the dustbin of history in case it causes him ongoing damage. #TrumpBlasphemy
