It will take America *decades*—not merely years—to recover from what these robber barons did to us.
They destroyed our government, caused untold pain to the average American directly and indirectly, and used our money as their piggy bank.
And all of it *should* have been criminal.

Considerations:
i) Trump is a federally adjudicated rapist.
ii) Trump admits to being attracted to underage girls.
iii) Epstein says Trump knew of his child sex trafficking ring.
iv) Trump pimped underage girls at the Plaza Hotel for years.
v) So yes—reasonable suspicion exists.

TWO QUESTIONS FOR AMERICA
1. Do you agree that a child rapist can’t be POTUS?
2. If so, why do you not support an immediate DOJ and FBI investigation to determine if Donald Trump committed the same crime that two of his closest friends for 17 years committed thousands of times?
