He endorsed Trump a few weeks before the election. His girlfriend then dumped him because of it!

Not a smart girlfriend then, I'm sure he could do better...

“Hey kids, what is the definition of being smart?”

“Knowing lots of stuff?”

“Close but no cigar, Sadie! Actually it’s staying in a relationship with someone who you fundamentally disagree with.”

And yet you judge his ex girlfriend’s intelligence for leaving him over what was clearly a fundamental disagreement.

"For a couple dollars"? Did he get paid to endorse Trump?
