0:00.0 | Donald Trump has cursed us all with a very long, excessive public record of his thoughts and opinions about all sorts of things. |
0:08.6 | Some things we didn't even want to know his thoughts on. |
0:11.1 | But sometimes that record comes in handy. |
0:14.3 | I mean, for instance, back in 2013, Donald Trump explained his position on the proper role of the American president when it comes to the naming of football teams. |
0:23.9 | He wrote this in a 2013 tweet, quote, |

1:34.8 | $45 million on a sad and low energy sparsely attended military parade. We all remember it. There he is, |
