Typical income taxes:

Teachers paid $7239
Firefighters paid $5283
Nurses paid $10,216

...and Donald Trump paid $750.

That is unfair by any measure.

“Who do you owe the money to? Do you owe debt to ANY foreign nation? Do you owe anybody money who is impacted by any decision you make as president* of the United States? WE NEED TO KNOW THAT.” @KamalaHarris

Who does President* Trump owe $421,000,000 to?

Don’t the American people deserve to know?

If President* Trump does not care enough about people closest to him — to warn them that he has COVID19 — why should we EVER think he cares about us?

Donald COVID19 timeline:

#TrumpHasCovid @ProjectLincoln
“The danger he poses is related to past dangerousness he has shown in terms of verbal aggression, boasting about assaults, paranoid reactions… This is a national security threat and the White House has a credibility crisis.” @pttrn_ntgrty #The25thFor45

“It cannot be that here and now in 2020 we allow the government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish on this earth. No, it cannot and it must not… WE WILL VOTE.” @JoeBiden in Gettysburg

“The FBI says white nationalism is a real problem, and the FBI wants to do something about it, but President* Trump doesn’t want to talk about that. He doesn’t keep the country safe.” @GenMhayden @RVAT2020

@RandyRainbow: If Donald got fired, we could go back to life as we once knew it — miserable and unfair but at least without the daily threat of complete authoritarianism and apocalyptic destruction…

@PattiLuPone: Wouldn’t that be nice?

“More people have filed for unemployment benefits this year than voted for Donald Trump in 2016.” @JamusLynch

American voters served our eviction notices to Donald Trump — and when he exits our executive branch and White House, his family and cronies leave, too…

#BuhBye @OhGreatItsEli @SarahKSilverman @staceyabrams
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He is the only president* in American history who is one-term, impeached, and lost the popular vote — TWICE. His refusal to concede means that every day the story is that he lost the election.

A majority of American voters have spoken…

President* Trump and Jared Kushner: YOU’RE FIRED.

Now PLEASE wear your masks and stop threatening national security.

#YOUREFIRED #YoureFiredTrump @LincolnsBible
President* Trump won’t concede so @feministabulous decided to do it for him...

“President* Trump has falsely asserted he won the 2020 election and repeatedly sought to overturn the results of the election… The House must reject this outrageous attempt to overturn the election and incitement of violence by a sitting president against his own government.” ✨ Image
"THEY COULD HAVE KILLED US ALL... It is a bit much to be hearing that these people would not be trying to destroy our government and kill us if we just weren't so mean to them." @RepRaskin @jamie_raskin

“No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States. Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our country. Our oath of office is to protect and defend the Constitution.” @SpeakerPelosi

He will never voluntarily stop. So now it is up to us, our lawmakers, and our laws, to outlaw his serving in future office — and to deal with America’s ongoing epidemic of domestic terrorism that he foments.
