Trump told Stormy that she reminded him of his daughter. That's right. Trump told the woman he had an affair with, that she reminds him of his daughter. Evangelicals love this stuff!!! đđ¤Ł
In September 1994, a little less than a year after Tiffany was born to Trump and his second wife, Marla, the couple appeared on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. âDonald, what does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marlaâs?â asked host Robin Leach.
âSheâs a very beautiful baby,â Trump replied. âSheâs got Marlaâs legs. We donât know whether or notââhe put his hands to his chest to indicate her bra sizeââsheâs got this part yet, but time will tell.â
While Trump was on The View in March 2006, he was asked what he would do if Ivanka was on the cover of P-boy magazine, Trump said it depended on what was inside the magazine and added, âAlthough she does have a very nice figure. Iâve said that if Ivanka werenât my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.â
In a February 2013 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, during a question and answer game, Williams asked Trump and Ivanka, "What's the favorite thing you have in common with your father?" Ivanka answered, "Either real estate or golf" while Trump added, "Well, I was going to say 5ex."
All true stories.

Here's just a few examples of Trump's so called "values."
Trumpâs history of creepy comments about the looks of his daughter Ivanka are well known. But his younger daughter, Tiffany, has largely stayed out of the spotlightâmuch like her fatherâs equally creepy comments about her anatomy..

Rand Paul earned his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C.. After that, he completed his general surgery internship at Atlanta-based Georgia Baptist Medical Center, followed by a residency in ophthalmology at Duke University Medical Center. Despite his medical training, Paul does not hold a bachelor's degree. He attended Waco, Texas-based Baylor University to study biology and English, but left a few courses short of a diploma after he was accepted into medical school.
Rand Paul is not even a board-certified ophthalmologist, as he reportedly claimed. Paul's certification comes from a board that he created himself. đ but he hasn't been certified by an organization recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties for years.Â
The now-defunct board was not recognized by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, so Paul was not board certified by a board recognized by the state since 2005, and since Paul's board dissolved in 2011, he has had no certification from an active body.
Basically, Dr. Dre is more of a doctor than Rand Paul.đ

Thereâs much speculation as to how Rudy Giuliani âAmericaâs Mayor,â the widely admired civic leader who presided over NYC during 9/11, could have been siphoned into Trumpâs underworld. We got a Trump thanks to a compliant, sensationalist media apparatus that breathed life into his phony self-made billionaire myth, just as we owe them for Rudy, who they cast as a post-9/11 American hero.
By the time that the planes crashed into the Towers on Sept. 11, 2001 Giuliani was a master surfer of the wave of public opinion. In the attacks that played out in lower Manhattan, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, PA, close to 3,000 people were killed â 343 of them uniformed New York City firemen.
Overnight, the media turned Giuliani into a larger than life heroic figure. But the people that were most intimately familiar with the cityâs pre-9/11 counter-terrorism preparations knew that it was Giulianiâs failures as Mayor which contributed directly to the horrific body count for the FDNY that day.
On Feb. 26, 1993, the World Trade Center was attacked with a 1,200-pound bomb concealed in a rental truck that exploded in the basement. The blast killed six, injured 1,000 people, and forced 50,000 to evacuate.
In a detailed after-action report published in 1994 by the FDNY, the inability of firefighters and their officers to communicate over their analog radios that day was flagged as a vital issue that needed to be addressed with urgency. In 2008 â when Giuliani was running for president â FDNY Lt. James Wood recounted his experiences during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing in an informational video produced by the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF).
While the bombing had taken place during Mayor Dinkins tenure as Mayor, Giuliani was sworn in on Jan. 2 1994. As the IAFF recalls it, the critical report about the defective fire radios gathered dust for several years.
It took until March of 2001 for new digital radios to be deployed, but they were withdrawn weeks later after they were deemed responsible for a near life-ending miscue when a firefighter isolated in a basement fire in Queens radioed a âMay Dayâ call for assistance that none of his co-workers heard over their radios. It was only picked up by another fire company miles away. The new radios were shelved, and the old dysfunctional analogs were put back in service.
The contract for the new radios was a no bid, non-competitive contract that was, as it turned out, just an extension of an existing contract with Motorola, which has a near-monopoly on emergency communications.
According to a report issued by the NYC Comptroller the next month, Giuliani had âwillfullyâ violated âcity contracting rulesâŚ. endangering firefighters in a reckless bid to buy a new type of hand-held radio that it later had to pull from service,â The Times reported that âthe new digital radios were never properly tested before being distributed to firefighters.â As City Comptroller Alan Hevesi documented, âthey were purchased through what he described as an improper process that did not allow competing companies to bid for the contract.â At the time, Michael Wolf, who represented Com-Net Ericsson, a Motorola competitor, told the Times he was stymied in his efforts to even get the city to consider his companyâs products.
Just six months later, FDNYâs bravest faced the doomsday scenario as they sized up the rescue operation in the Twin Towers on 9/11 that would take so many of their lives. They were equipped with the same analog radios that had failed them so badly when the WTC was bombed back in 1993. As the IAFF video documents and as the 9/11 timeline confirms, at 9:32 am. on 9/11, an FDNY Chief ordered all members in the North Tower down to the lobby. Even though he repeated the order, not a single company responded.
At 9:59 the WTC South Tower collapsed; and at 10 am the order to abandon the North Tower was repeated. Inside the North Tower were 121 firefighters who never heard that order. They perished when the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 am.
âOn 9/11 firefighters went into the North Tower and started ascending the tower, yet they were being called back and they kept going,â said Richard Salem, an attorney who has been representing several of the firefightersâ families who lost loved ones when the North Tower collapsed. âNot one other uniformed officer from any other department, who had functioning radios, perished in that tower other than the FDNY.â
Despicably, Giuliani tried to cover up his own malfeasance by telling the 9/11 Commission that the North Tower firefighters had ignored the radio orders because of âtheir willingness, the way I describe it to stand their ground.â
Retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches, who lost his son Jimmy in the North Tower, will tell this tragic story to anyone who will listen. He and other surviving family members shadowed Giuliani during the 2008 primary and carried on a media campaign that was picked up by outlets like the Guardian.
âThese radios did not work in the WTC in 1993 and they did not work in 2001." Jim Riches stated. "We got the story out there but when the media christened him âAmericaâs Mayor,â it all went away.â

June 3, 2016, Don Jr receives this email at 10:36 AM, from Rob Goldstone.
"Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting."
"The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father."
"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin" Goldstone wrote.
Don Jr. agrees to hold the meeting at Trump Tower, and sets the date for June 9.
On June 7, 2016, just days before the Trump Tower meeting, Trump announced a âmajor speechâ he claimed would reveal damaging information about Hillary. "I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week and weâre going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons,â Trump said. âI think youâre going to find it very informative and very, very interesting."
On June 9, 2016, a meeting was held in Trump Tower between three senior members of the Donald Trump presidential campaign â Don Jr., Kushner, and Manafort â and at least five other people, including Russian Russian agents.
On July 27 2016, on national tv, Trump invites Russia to meddle in our elections.
âRussia, if youâre listening, I hope youâre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,â Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clintonâs deleted emails. âI think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.â
Later that same day, the 12 Russian operatives indicted in the special counsel investigation, launched the 1st cyber attack against the DNC.

In order for America to survive, Trump must be defeated.
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty.âÂ
âThomas Jefferson
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Marylandâs delegates to the Convention,  a lady asked Dr. Franklin: âWell Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Benjamin Franklin replied:Â âA republic....if you can keep it.â
Today, Trump and Republicans are telling the American people that we can no longer keep it.
America's democracy and Constitutional republic, has never been in more peril than it is right now. Trump and republicans, are attempting to reverse our victory in our War of Independence, that began 1775 and ended in 1783. They are attempting to throw it all away, like it never happened, and install a new King, a new monarch, a new tyrant, to rule over the American people.
âIf there is one fact we really can prove, from the history that we really do know, it is that despotism can be a development, often a late development and very often indeed the end of societies that have been highly democratic. A despotism may almost be defined as a tired democracy. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to watch the city while they sleep.âÂ
â G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
âWhatever government is not a government of laws, is a despotism, let it be called what it mayâÂ
â Daniel Webste
âThereâs no English equivalent for silovik. It doesnât translate succinctly because to create something as Machiavellian as a silovik requires both the KGB and the GRU, and then a shift from communism to capitalism, followed by a gear-grinding reverse into despotism.âÂ
â Tanya Thompson, Red Russia
âThe actions of government, we are told, bear down only on imprudent souls who provoke them. The man who resigns himself and keeps silent is always safe. Reassured by this worthless and specious argument, we do not protest against the oppressors. Instead we find fault with the victims. Nobody knows how to be brave even prudentially. Everyone stays silent, keeping his head low in the self-deceiving hope of disarming the powers that be by his silence. People give despotism free access, flattering themselves they will be treated with consideration. Eyes to the ground, each person walks in silence the narrow path leading him safely to the tomb.âÂ
â Benjamin Constant, Principles of Politics Applicable to All Governments

So while Cruz was in Cancun, and fox, the governor of Texas, McCarthy, and other republicans were busy trying to blame AOC for the crisis in Texas, she was actually busy being productive, being a leader, and being a public servant of the people.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) helped raise more than $2 million in less than 24 hours to help bring relief to the state of Texas.
On Thursday evening, Ocasio-Cortez announced she was partnering with several Texas charities and encouraged her millions of Twitter followers to donate money to help residents in Texas.
"Team AOC is launching relief efforts for Texas starting today,â the New York Democrat tweeted Thursday evening. âOur first effort is a partnership w/5 Texas orgs getting on-the-ground relief to Texans ASAP. If youâre able, please donate here - itâll split your contribution to all 5.âÂ
By Thursday night, more than $1 million had been raised, and by Friday morning, the charities raked in more than $2 million. The funds are being split between The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition, Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank, Feeding Texas and several other charities.

This had the feel of speeches given by one the world's most despotic dictators in history.
Trump criticized Dems who did not applaud during his first State of the Union address. âThey were like death and un-American,â he said. âUn-American. Somebody said treasonous. I mean, yeah, I guess, why not? Can we call that treason? Why not?â
Trump is very reminiscent of Stalin in this way. You can see it in him during this SOTU address. He literally pauses for the applause, and he even applauds himself.
During Stalin's reign of terror, he demanded a long and enthusiastic applause, and standing ovations whenever he gave a speech. As a result, the applause and ovations he received became largely panic-driven. People feared that the first person to stop clapping would be the first to be called an enemy of the state, and be hauled off to a gulag. The clapping and ovations would last up to 10 minutes. Failure to applaud could certainly be considered treason. So the sheeple went on and on, clapping and shouting âLong live Comrade Stalin,â âGlory to our beloved Comrade Stalin," clapping to the point of exhaustion, and until the palms of their hands bled.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described what the surreal scene looked like in his book, The Gulag Archipelago:
âThe applause went onâsix, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldnât stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerlyâŚNine minutes! Ten!âŚInsanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers.â
At last, after eleven minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory finally decided enough was enough. He stopped clapping and sat downâa miracle!
âTo a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down,â Solzhenitsyn says.
That same night, the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for ten years. Authorities came up with some official reason for his sentence, but during his interrogation, he was told: âDonât ever be the first to stop applauding!â

Let's face it, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PROBLEM....and it's okay to admit it.
"We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.
The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
Many self-styled bipartisan groups, in their search for common ground, propose solutions that move both sides to the center, a strategy that is simply untenable when one side is so far out of reach. While the Democrats may have moved from their 40-yard line to their 25, the Republicans have gone from their 40 to somewhere behind their goal post.
When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the countryâs challenges.
The GOPâs evolution has become too much for some longtime Republicans. Former senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska called his party âirresponsibleâ in an interview with the Financial Times, at the height of the debt-ceiling battle. âI think the Republican Party is captive to political movements that are very ideological, that are very narrow,â he said. âIâve never seen so much intolerance as I see today in American politics.â
Mike Lofgren, a veteran Republican congressional staffer, wrote an anguished diatribe about why he was ending his career on the Hill after nearly three decades. âThe Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe,â he wrote on the Truthout Web site."
By Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein

Trump was caught bribing Ukraine into opening up a bogus investigation into Biden and his son, while he and his own family members are engaged in real crimes in the White House.
There needs to be a special counsel investigation into Ivanka and Jared's business dealings (GRIFTING) while being members of Trump's administration.
In 2017, Joshua Harris, a private equity billionaire started paying regular visits to the White House. Harris, a founder of Apollo Global Management, met on multiple occasions with Jared to discuss a possible White House job for Harris.
The job never materialized, but later that year, Apollo lent $184 million to Kushnerâs family real estate firm, Kushner Companies. The loan was to refinance the mortgage on a Chicago skyscraper. It was one of the largest loans Kushner Companies received that year.
An even larger loan came from Citigroup, which lent Kushnerâs firm and one of its partners $325 million to help finance a group of office buildings in Brooklyn. That loan was made in the spring of 2017, shortly after Kushner met in the White House with Citigroupâs chief executive, Michael Corbat.
Apollo executives, including Harris, had tens of millions of dollars personally at stake in Trump's massive tax cut for corporations and the most wealthy that was making its way through Washington that year. Citigroup, one of the countryâs largest banks, was trying to get the government to relax its oversight of the industry.
Kushner also had multiple interactions with potential investors from overseas. Kushnerâs firm has sought investments from the Chinese insurer Anbang and from the former prime minister of Qatar. One of the largest investors in Apolloâs real estate trust is the Qatari governmentâs investment fund, the Qatar Investment Authority.
Kushnerâs firm previously sought a $500 million investment from the former head of that Qatari fund for its headquarters at 666 Fifth Ave. That year, Jared's father, Charles Kushner, pressed a Qatari official for the $500 million loan from a government-controlled investment fund. Weeks after Charles Kusherâs request was denied, Jared backed a punishing blockade of Qatar, which was enacted by Saudi Arabia. Kushnerâs family, which had struggled to get the financing to save their underwater skyscraper at 666 Fifth Ave, were suddenly bailed out by Apollo, which had business ties to the government of Qatar, one of it's largest investors. Two weeks later, Sec of State Pompeo told Saudi Arabia that enough was enough, and the blockade was lifted.
Shortly after Kushner Companies received the loan from Apollo, the private equity firm emerged as a beneficiary of the tax cut package that Trump championed. Trump backed down from his earlier pledge to close a loophole that permits private equity managers to pay taxes on the bulk of their income at rates that are roughly half of ordinary income tax rates. The tax law left the loophole largely intact.
China approved several Ivanka trademarks at the same time that Trump was agreeing to drop sanctions against Chinese telecom company ZTE. Days before Trumpâs decision, China agreed to invest half a billion dollars in an Indonesia theme park resort linked to the Trump Organization through a licensing deal. A major Israeli insurer loaned Kushner Cos. $30 million just days before Kushner visited Israel to work on a peace plan.
In June 2018, Charles Kushner attacked ethics officials for questioning Jared and Ivanka's shameless and egregious grifting, by calling them âjâŹRksâ who canât get a âreal job.â He also talked about the âsacrificesâ his son and daughter-in-law had made. đ˛đđ˛đ

Trump has been encouraging violence in this country since he was on the campaign trail in 2016. There is proof of him giving a full throated green light for his cult followers to engage in violent acts.
MARCH 2016:
" Part of the problem is no one wants to hurt anyone anymore." Trump said this during a rally in St. Louis as protesters were being escorted out by security. Trump became frustrated that it was taking so long to escort the protesters out. He then said " You know, part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore."
FEBRUARY 2016:
" Knock the krap out of him. would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees." Trump said this at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
This is the same man that used brute force against peaceful protesting American citizens in Lafayette Square, just so he could stage a 5 minute photo-op. He treats Putin like he's a fellow comrade, and treats American citizens like we're the enemy. Let that sink in for a moment...
Has anyone ever heard of a president behaving in such a manner? Has anyone ever heard of a president inciting Americans to engage in violence against other Americans?
In Trumpâs second book, Surviving at the Top (released as Trumpâs empire was crumbling under massive debt in 1990), he described his temperament in ways that wouldnât seem to bode well for America.
âI get bored too easily,â he wrote. âMy attention span is short and probably my least favorite thing to do is to maintain the status quo. Instead of being content when everything is going fine, I start getting impatient and irritable.â
This is Trump openly admitting to being an agent of chaos and destruction. Placing an extreme narcissistic sociopath like Trump into any position of leadership, where his actions will have a direct affect on people's lives, constitutes a criminal act. Nothing good has ever resulted from anything that Trump has ever touched or been involved with. He is void of any and all goodwill or human decency. He is a purely toxic, insidious and malevolent being, who constitutes a malignant affliction on this country.
The safety and national security of America should have never been placed into the hands of a mentally impaired, and emotionally unstable demagogue, who will take a wrecking ball to anything, simply because he was bored.

Trump's phone call with a survivor of the Parkland mass shooting back in Feb of 2018, actually angered the student, who said her conversation with the president "didn't make me feel better in the slightest."
Samantha Fuentes, a High School student who was shot in both legs during the attack, recounted her call in an interview:
"He said he heard I was a big fan of his, (she wasn't)Â and then he said, 'I'm a big fan of yours, too,' " Fuentes told the Times.
"I'm pretty sure he made that up," she continued. "Talking to the president, I've never been so unimpressed by a person in all my life.đ He didn't make me feel better in the slightest."

The Founding Fathers understanding of bribery was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholderâs abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trumpâs conductâit practically defines it.
Trump took 400 million in taxpayer dollars, which had been appropriated by Congress, and used it to bribe a foreign country into taking specific actions that would only benefit him personally.
The Founders placed articles of impeachment in the Constitution for the purpose of protecting our democracy. A democracy that Trump clearly has no respect for, and is trying to tear apart.
Article II, Section 4, says the president âshall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Roger Stone, Trumpâs longtime adviser and partner in crime was convicted of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The verdict makes Stone only the latest among a growing list of people once in Trump's inner circle of goons who have been convicted on federal charges. Here is a list of others in Trumpâs inner swamp circle convicted of federal crimes.
Michael Cohen
Trump's former lawyer and fixer, Cohen pleaded guilty to bank fraud, tax fraud, and campaign violations involving hush-money payouts (for Trump) to two women â the adult film star Stormy Daniels, and former Playboy model Karen McDougal. Cohen was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison.
Paul Manafort
The lobbyist who worked as Trumpâs campaign chairman was convicted in August 2018 of bank fraud, tax fraud and failing to disclose foreign bank accounts. The next month, Manafort admitted to conspiracy, such as money laundering and unregistered lobbying, as well as a second conspiracy count involving witness tampering. Manafort, who will spend about seven and a half years in prison for the federal cases, also faces state criminal charges in NY for fraud and conspiracy.
While working as Trump's campaign chairman, Manafort shared polling data on the 2016 election with a Russian man linked to Moscowâs intelligence agencies, according to special counsel Mueller.
Michael Flynn
Trumpâs former national security adviser pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI over his communication with Russia amid the presidential transition in 2016. Flynn lied about his contact with Russiaâs ambassador, such as urging Russia not to react to sanctions placed by Barack Obama.
Rick Gates
Manafortâs business partner pleaded guilty in February 2018 to conspiring to defraud the US and lying to the FBI. He also admitted to helping Manafort manipulate financial documents, conceal foreign income, cheat tax authorities and mislead banks for credit. Gates, who was also a Trump campaign official, cut a deal with Mueller â serving as a star witness against Manafort and Stone.
George Papadopoulos
In 2017, Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about the schedules of meetings with purported Russian intermediaries. Papadopoulos in March 2016 met with a Maltese professor in London, who claimed that the Russians had incriminating information on Trumpâs then rival, Clinton â âthousands of emailsâ. Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison.
Alex van der Zwaan
A Dutch lawyer who worked with Manafort, Van der Zwaan pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his communications with Gates and a person potentially linked to Russian intelligence. Van der Zwaan worked on a Manafort-commissioned report to defend ex-Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych from international scrutiny. He was incarcerated for 12 days.
Richard Pinedo
The online fraudster pleaded guilty after it was revealed that his business setting up US bank accounts, and then illegally peddling them over the internet, had enabled a Russian operation that utilized social media to meddle with the election. His cooperation enabled Muellerâs pursuit of Russian troll farms.
Konstantin Kilimnik
The Russian political operative and Manafort associate is charged with obstructing justice. He was swept up in Manafortâs plan to leverage his relationship with Trump to settle multimillion-dollar debts to an oligarch. Kilimnik, 48, trained at a university connected to Russiaâs military intelligence agency, formerly known as the GRU, which spearheaded the Kremlinâs effort to disrupt the 2016 election. In the Mueller report, Kilimnik is described as âa former Russian intelligence officer with the GRUâ by Rick Gates, Manafortâs deputy on the Trump campaign.
Sam Patten
Lobbyist Patten had ties to Kilimnik. He admitted to diverting $50,000 from a Ukrainian oligarch to Trumpâs presidential inauguration committee. He pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with Mueller.

This is the 3rd time that Trump has asked another foreign country to interfere in our elections. And if he gets away with it this time, he will absolutely do it AGAIN!!! Because a sociopath like Trump, with no impulse control, who doesn't know right from wrong, and believes he's impervious to consequences, is 100% incorrigible, and completely incapable of being corrected.
If and when Traitor Trump is acquitted of his crimes by republicans, he will be on the phone the very next day trying to get another foreign country to interfere in our elections again for a 4th time. Trump is like a child who has never been told no, and has never been told that what he is doing is wrong. He doesnât know right from wrong because he's never been punished for his wrong doings, instead, he is like a child who is rewarded for his bad behavior. This child will inevitably grow up to be an incorrigible monster, and republicans are continuing to feed this monster..
