”Eyewitnesses, verified text messages, recorded phone calls, physical evidence, his own confessions caught on tape—It’s just not enough to go on.”
“I mean, personally I stopped trying to employ any type of logic to explain my pro-Trump position a long time ago.”
“President Dad IMPOTENT!!!”
“Hey, there are two sides to every story, and women are liars. That’s what this is about, right?”
“This is all just a deep-state Democratic plot to distract me while I’m driving so I commit crimes like manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident!”

“Surprisingly, he came into my confessional and I absolved him of his sins. Thus he is innocent in the eyes of the Lord.”
“I did his roof. Didn’t see anything guilty happening through the hole.”

“I am less interested in why Trump is innocent, and more why Trump is at all.”
“Pops, you mean? My ol’ pops? Guilty? Aw, go on now. Shucks. He ain’t done nothing.”
“Trust me. He’s innocent.”
“Title 18 § 371 of the U.S. Criminal Code is obviously a slut who’s just lying for attention.”
