Just Trump blaming others for another shitshow he created...

Only 'a little'. Looking in from the outside, it seems appalling, not just a minor discomfort.

I imagining him saying that like Mini Me in Austen Powers. Disingenuous comes to mind.

Draft dodging non tax paying crook

He must think he's in some soap opera or something. I wonder if he can think straight or he's just driven by his emotions all the time.

You are a bigoted bloated orange racist

This man is a monumental embarrassment.

US House rejects bid to launch Trump impeachment proceedingsThe US House of Representatives has voted 332 to 95 to set aside an impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump. So 332 Nos you mean This is what, the third time now that the Democrat controlled House has voted against impeachment? How utterly humiliating for them. What a divided rabble the Dems are. All thanks to extremists like AOC and the squad. Trump wins again. Don't Democrats have the majority? Just give it up already with all this fake tough talk routine. Democrats talking the talk, but ain't walking the walk. I'm by no means a Trump fan, but it's pretty annoying how spineless the Dems are.
