ReplyDeleteFunny how the people chanting impeach Trump were chanting this very same thing at the exact moment he took office. He busted Biden's corrupt money scheme and everyone wants to punish him for it. But yet look at how Obama broke our laws and smuggled and funded ISIS terrorists into our country and closed down private business and no on said a thing. Not to mention Obama is a dual citizen not born in the USA as he admitted to it himself, so did his brother and his grandmother!
^^^ Still having hallucinations I see - Trumpism can be a terrible drug!
ReplyDelete^^^ Trump derangement syndrome. All is true, Odummy has even called his "wife" Micheal in public on more than one occasion.
ReplyDeleteSHITTY CITY
ReplyDelete@6:29, you forgot to mention that Trump has finally bribed his "wife" with enough cash that she will let him touch her again.
ReplyDeleteWonder if she'll file for the divorce in January or February of 2021?
