Trump wants to strip citizenship away from a U.S. citizen who opposes him politically.

I'm filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to end the illegal takeover of a CalGuard unit, which has escalated chaos and violence in LA.
Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority.
We will not let this stand.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
