Re: Trump, King of the Jews

From what trash heap did you pull this? The very thread you have added this puzzling comment to. for what it's worth, I took it as an apt response to my weak little jape: Oxyrhynchus 115 was indeed pulled from an ancient trash heap.

I'm disappointed he didn't tell us who the Jewish people in Israel consider to be the first coming of God, but I think Carl Reiner has a real shot.
