and probably wouldn't happen under his reign, but you watch, another MAGA type replaces him and they will do their damnedest to make it so.

Everything he does is legally questionable. Stop the grift. Follow the money to an offshore money laundry.

No previous president, Democrat or Republican, has so thoroughly degraded and coarsened public life in America. "Grotesquerie is all Trump understands. Everything becomes theater.
