If there is one thing that Donald Trump can’t stand, it’s being exposed as the loser that he really is. He refuses to acknowledge his six (at least) bankruptcies.

It’s a pathetic diversionary device considering his previous attempts resulted in the humiliating disbandment<\/a><\/strong> of his phony election “integrity”<\/em> commission because it couldn’t find any evidence of voter fraud. Undeterred by this shame, Trump tweeted this:<\/p>\n
