            I dunno, I just got stunlocked trying to figure out who else you could have been thinking of! I’m also not sure what the comment you were responding to meant, to be honest.

              I guess they mean he was in the last 9 months when this was announced and things tend not to move very fast in government and law

        Obama was president in 2016, it was his last year. Just like how Bush was in 08 and Trump was in 20.

        Is it exclusively someone with completely normal sized hands? Or is it just Putin?
