The man who almost destroyed America starting in 2016. And prior to that was living off of the American taxpayer dollars. Also today the courts have finally begun to start the corruption of the Trump organization. Huge step and finally stopping a lifelong criminal of corruption even though Trump himself has not been indicted yet just his guinea pig facing decades in jail at 75 plus years old, which means if the guinea pig does not cooperate he will definitely croak in jail. I honestly believe this time Trump and his organization along with his family are going to finally get what they deserve and it's been long overdue. America cannot afford to have another Trump ever to step foot in the White House. Trump's skin is starting to peel off like an orange. He's not able to hide it anymore.
