That’s the Republican candidate Donald Trump (78) he likes to rely on perceived facts instead of reality during the election campaign, as he has already proven in many appearances. Just consider the myth that immigrants eat pets. With a new attack against the Democrat Kamala Harris (59), Trump now showed the statement that appeared in 1987 Antigriegs movies “Full Metal Jacket” von Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) completely misunderstood to have
During a campaign in the US state of California, Trump talked about the US military.
