RitaPanahi any comment?

SEE other countries, even the USA jail's former con gressman. another supporter of donald See Australia it's good for their souls to be locked up. for a crime or two.

and Trumps odds of being re-elected keep shortening, don’t ever expect to hear anything but an anti Trump sentiment in Australian media though.

Looks like only the best people are Trump supporters.

Shorewife I am on my second bingo card of Trump associates either convicted or in prison...

It is usually considered news when realDonaldTrump associate's are not put in jail.
