Okay, so next time Hillary Clinton wants to make her entire email server disappear,
all she has to do is send an email chain asking this guy to resign.
And everything within a 10 mile radius will magically vanish!

Anyone here want to Dump Trump?
Just ask him to rebuke the Chinese Govt. Cool trick!
