A Panamanian described trump as “kinda crazy.” I believe he should have left out the word “kinda.”

The tragedy of trump in the Oval Office is getting worse by the minute.

The language of the 14th Amendment and history of Jan 6 are both clear and do NOT NEED interpretation by ANY court.

When the law is clear and concise, court interpretation is not required.

Trump is illegitimate.

Trump is attempting trying to violate the clear and concise language of the US Constitution via “executive order.”

This is just one more violation of the oath of office he took to “defend” a document and a nation that he does NOT understand.
