If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.

Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is who Trump governs for.
