And Holy Shit, look at the top results.... Is that Obama I see? Oh wow.... And a bunch of other people too? Shiiiiiit. It's almost like there's more nuance to the issue than some hastily thrown together tweet taking shit out of context.

This would be hilarious if I didn't think you were a registered voter who thinks they are "informed" when they can't even do a basic search. Ffs, I don't even know the name of the damn wall, I just guessed. Now I know it's the Western Wall, and can even learn more about it, because I did 5 seconds of research.

I dunno, I can still see the goalposts. I think he needs to move them again....

"pretending to be Jewish".... Ummm they're not doing that so another lie spread I guess.
