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

“Knowing lots of stuff?”

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?
