is such an amazing prophet and a genius, why did he decide to lead us into Brexit and inflict all this damage on us?
Why is he not judged by that one big scrub?
Why is Michael Gove not?
Why is Boris Johnson not?

He decided he'd instead, he'd send his donors to go and live somewhere else.
And then he could get them in time.
