“The genius who gave us classics like Sleepy Joe and Crooked Hillary, simply s*** out, ‘You’re a Panican’? How about Hysterocrats? Repussicans? How about Cryontologists? Did the abroad manufacturing unit you had been sourcing your nicknames from get shut down throughout the tariff struggle?” quipped Stewart.
Trump ended his unusual Twitter rant by saying “ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL!” which Stewart mentioned was the “similar tagline as season 3 of Squid Sport”.

Footage is then proven of the on line casino being imploded in 2021.
