It was a bad hair day for Donald Trump. The whitest people in America voted for a Canadian anchor baby instead of him. Incredible. Flanked by what appeared to be a militia of blond Kardashians, Trump was almost gracious in concession Monday night, saying he was “honored,” even congratulating the winner. Of course, it didn’t […]
