When we say Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone & he would not hesitate to turn against his base in a ny minute, we mean—that’s what he’s always done. All politicians lie, but this guy wants to change reality altogether; if you’re not willing to lie with & for him, u “enemy”

Trump has got to stop this crap. People who do their sworn duty, and call things honestly, are not traitors. What a horrible man Trump is.

Coward

He is in trouble because he did his job with honesty and perfection and never bow to the pressure from president Trump and the other GOP leaders. He respects the integrity of our laws and elections process, he kept America first.
