Trump is not only the dumbest president in US history, but someone who is borderline illiterate, has never read any holy book, has no ethics, and represents all the seven deadly sins ad Infinium. The fact that world leaders grovel at this obese serial r*pist's feet, shows how pathetic humanity is. Alexander the Great conquered the civilized world; Mango Mussolini lost a war against Iran and his base still cheer for him. Fckn pathetic.

First-year undergraduates, they say, are increasingly arriving without the basic skills they need to succeed. At the campus in Berkeley, they write, some 20-30% of students taking an early calculus course turn up displaying “severe preparation deficits”. The challenge has become so great, they add, that instructors are having to reteach middle-school mathematics.

The problem with these people is that they are always chasing returns, rather than value. How could anyone with any degree of intellect think Trump and his mafia family could return value, when he is owned by Israel, Russia, and anyone with a billion dollars?
