Trump is a performative PREDATOR with no substantive value to anyone but himself. He destroyed 6 businesses, cheated on wives, contractors, had 5 children who lack a moral core and mirror his insatiable avarice. He & Republican sycophants are willing to destroy democracy. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
