Recycling criminals.

America is getting rid of the trash. It stinks in the White House, but soon the wretched air in the Oval Office shall be made clean. Red hat tears will not matter.

特朗普总统,在共和党以及官员受到民主党罪犯的威胁时候,不应该让步或妥协,应该颁布法令对民主党打人者除追究法律责任或取消其就医,养老,出行等待遇,有关单位辞退其工作不得再录用,子女不得接再接受教育。民主党插手等同于干政。当国家工作人员受到威胁应该已于强硬反击,打击以民主党为首的罪犯

Oh, he'll make history alright. Just not quite the way Democrats have planned.

No-one beliefs he had more votes than Obumba!

What a drama they brought in which nothing is true.

It was a bit a shock to Trumps system coping with an unflappable Joe Biden. Trump was expecting a verbal assault from Biden that didn't eventuate. Trump is more use to winning a good old fashion argument but Biden wasnt buying into it. Well done Joe!

History that threatened the GSA?

Welcome back to the DC swamp rats

When is Kamala resigning her Senate seat? Not before Jan 20th I bet.

Biden is not the president😜

American patriots, clean up lies and fraud in the election

Farewell45👋🏽
