If you missed quotation from Tweet #3 is here ⤵️
Yes, Trump said, "Our laws are so corrupt and stupid."

We get it.

I notice that sometimes when I include someone else's tweet, the whole thing disappears. Maybe when I do this, I should also include a screenshot.



So many of the comments are wonderful. I 💕you all
