New YouGov poll finds a majority of Americans believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross should be charged for killing Renee Good.
Despite repeated lies from the Trump administration, Americans watched the videos and are demanding accountability.

To be ABSOLUTELY clear:
Trump does NOT have a protracted strategy or plan, ever.
What he THINKS he has, is instincts.
What he ACTUALLY has, are personality disorders.
Everything he says is in pursuit of grandiosity, wealth, or a distraction to cover up crimes.
