  1. OMG! No wonder America is where we are, this White House Administration is full of complete idiots. Anything to avoid responsibility and show any respect for other fellow Americans. Next we’ll all be doing disinfectant from kool aid cups.

    Hasn’t America suffered enough damage the last 4 years? America can’t take anymore, get rid of Trump and all his lying, cheating, fraudulent, felon cabinet members and friends.
