Psychopath
My god, this is TERRIFYING!
A PRESIDENT WHO HAS TOTAL IMMUNITY IS CALLED A DICTATOR‼️ 😡
NO DICTATORSHIP IN AMERICA ‼️
Are you stupid? Who is being prosecuted right now? LOOKS TO ME AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY FEELS LIKE TRUMP IS BEING PROSECUTED. BUT YOUR FROM THE LEFT. THE PROPAGANDA PEOPLE THAT LIED ABOUT THE HOLODOMOR WERE 10 MILLION PEOPLE WE’RE MURDERED. AND THE NYT LIED ABOUT THE WHOLE GENOCIDE. CALLED THE HOLODOMOR.
All of these people claiming that this is “Soo shameful” willfully ignored the truly egregious acts of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, and 95% of the “leadership” in the Democratic party. What Trump ACTUALLY did is PEANUTS compared to the TRULY EVIL acts of the Democratic party. Tribalism and TDS at it’s finest.
LIARS. NYT is a joke now.
