Not normal to have an 80 yr old with dyed blonde hair & loaded with peach makeup insulting everyone as a president of the United States. He has zero sucess he is a very sick vengeful NARCISSIST.

🚨HOLY COW: Trump BLOWS up at a reporter for asking about Epstein.
“I don’t want to talk about it because fake news like you. You’re a terrible reporter…you just keep bringing up to deflect from (my) tremendous success.”
Trump is a pedophile protector.

Trump opened the floodgates for people to express their deepest bigotry & hatred without fear. After all, if the president can say it, so can ordinary Americans.
Until Trump, it was not socially acceptable to be an open bigot.
I hope we can fix this, but I'm not sure.

Public service isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.
It’s time to pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act and finally ban lawmakers from trading stocks. The American people deserve to be confident that their representatives are working for them, not their own financial interests.

Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."
