What if a witness to a crime against you was one of those who are gone? What if no one wants to stop to help for fear of being deported? What about our history of welcoming immigrants who have contributed so much to our country?

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.
