  1. So many don't want this man in power yet somehow he still is….. USA you lost your country to one person and that's crazy. Always big talk how strong you are but then one pedo takes you over.

  2. All I have to say is everyone talks about President Trump you see the 10 billion dollar lawsuit you should cover what’s happening in your own country stay out of the united States business unless he unleashed a lawsuit against you just saying

  3. Corporate media are desperate to thread the needle here. It’s a “far right conspiracy theory ” but at the same time “there is something going on”. Sad and pathetic that they had no interest in this highly suspicious narrative until last week.
