It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

Trump can just release the files now then, no need for a vote.....or is it he doesn't want to know he's losing support, he can't threaten to primary every republican! It's his ego!

Trump wanted to invade Greenland, make Canada the 51st state, declare war on Venezuela and now Nigeria, a member of the Commonwealth, population 230 million people. King Charles may need to have a word. Think he'll change his mind when he finds out all the Christians are black Africans?
