Four years is a long time. It's more than enough time for a President to prove who they are. And every day, Donald Trump proved himself a danger to our Republic. And every scandal, every battle, we were there to fight back. As America votes, we recall those biggest fights here:
Modern candidates prove their commitment to honesty and transparency by releasing their taxes. Even now, Trump works like a dog to hide his checkered financial history from us. So much for the swamp.
The lies started on his first day. Now they come so rapidly you can't even document them all. But we always #StandUp for truth.
Do you remember when Trump promised to have a "Fake News Awards" show? No? Well he did. Just another part of his plan to discredit the media, just like the dictators he adores.
Speaking of Dictators... Isn't it weird that Trump loves them so much? We aired this ad during his disastrous Helsinki meeting with Putin, where he ran to the defense of the tyrant who is STILL attacking America. Shameful.
Trump sold the country on the lie of building a wall and making Mexico pay for it. To date, our military has paid far more for it than the Mexican government.
Trump continues to deny, deny, deny that Russia interfered with our elections. Why won't he listen to American intelligence professionals instead of Putin? Maybe because he appreciates the help.
6/2019: Congress was called on to hold Trump accountable for obstructing justice by starting an impeachment inquiry.
