Donald Trump said he’d ‘never heard of a corner store’ – 14 funniest and most on-point comebacks definitely worth ringing up
To the world – apologies – of Donald Trump, where the president has been doing his best to show some interest in the affordability crisis gripping the United States right now.
Specifically, Trump has been talking corner stores, a phrase it turns out the president has never heard before.
But don’t take our word for it. Here is the specimen himself.

It’s never been more obvious as he attempts to speed read this script someone wrote for him that he can’t stand the affordability subject and doesn’t even want to do this event because he is completely disconnected from the lives of average Americans and couldn’t care less. https://t.co/pa8K3ohWF9
