trumps poo flown back from turkey

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil.

spidermike007 · July 1Jul 1

No other president has ever used his office to accumulate the vast amounts of wealth that Trump has gained in the past year and a half.
