Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupaul and Lachluster get that dog off your Board - You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Can’t tell if real or parody.

I'm going to say real, with no evidence. It's spiteful enough to pass the sniff test.

Doubt it. "RuPaul" and "Lachluster"are too clever to have emerged from the dishwater-soaked, infected sponge sitting on top of his spinal column where a real human would have a brain.

I love how Trump's ghostwriters try to calibrate to him, and they never are quite able to make themselves dumb enough.

It's the talking in the third person that lets you know it's real

Rust belt, sun belt, Bible belt... USA is so fat, it needs multiple belts!

wikipedia lists 21 here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_belt_regions_of_the_United_States

but some of them are state regions. so they have tiny belts too.

Don't forget the jello belt.

Trump, meanwhile, takes the 1-point lead over Harris in North Carolina, with 48 percent support to her 47 percent.

It's progress, but there's still a ways to go.
