      “It’s bad to support smothering orphans” what country does this guy live in
      Saudi, UAE and (to a lesser extent) Egypt are all for whatever Israel does. It’s more complicated in other countries because the people are against it but the government isn’t, so you have to be against Israel just enough to please the people but not too much that you displease the government ❤️

    Remember also that Trump, The President of the United States, yelled back “FUCK YOU!”, and walked away, apparently hitting a nerve. He’s probably not capable of true guilt, but he can definitely feel shame.

    How many people can actually say they made the fucking President say “fuck you”? A national hero.

      Since it’s Trump, probably more than you think.
