When they become a shitload more efficient at spending it, I think everyone will complain a lot less about paying it.

That's a stretch.

Before I scrolled down my initial impression was, "America first? What has he done to put America first?"

I see several non-Nazi related ones in this google search.

There's enough reasons to hate Trump and logically conclude he's a racist.

Trying to link a pro-Trump t-shirt to Nazi Germany is just someone's own bigotry towards Trump/Rs/whatever allowing them to make connections that probably don't exist.

Maybe, but that iconography is well know. It could happen "by accident" but I'm skeptical.

That was my thought too, and if you want to get all conspiracy theory with it, he's friends with Trump.

Well, so far he's taken no actual steps to running, but who knows.

Obama: 80-1 (Michelle)
Kanye: 66-1
Clinton: 50-1 (Hillary)
Trump: 1.75 - 1
Biden: Uh, 60% (I don't know how to translate -160), is that 1 - 1.60?

Where did they come from?

Biden with only a 60% chance to win seems low.

I love that Kanye has a better chance to win than Michelle Obama.
