The democrats are like a da, viva Trump

We saw it first

America for Americans. What ever they did is Americans for America. Me an outsider may have wished for or against but what matters most is the US Senate House final say.

He is a free man like any other sitting president with a majority in parliament. You can do something terribly wrong still you will have support from your peers who must abide by the party principles which are not always ethically correct. Life goes on. At least it's done.

Viva Trump! Good news🥳🥳🥳🤜🏾

Trump must leave office and pave a way for a new president
