I've always low-key blamed Trump (and his minions) on lead poisoning - paint, exhaust from leaded gasoline, old pipes & so forth. I suppose there's some portion that's explained by inbreeding. But, I guess some portion of the phenomenon could also be explained by uncooked pork products....

I'm inclined to believe this, but what I see is laughably bad. I've agreed with the premise of Sandy Hook Promise since before the Sandy Hook Massacre, yet they've been pounding me with ads for years. Every once in a while, I get a halfhearted "But Trump is pretty cool, isn't he?" Which will never be clicked.
