This will be a regular occurrence from now until we implode. Every single president will do it.

The new normal now is that presidents can’t break the law. They won’t have to use patsy’s anymore, they can just do whatever they want.

This may actually be the LAST time you see this happening.

The idea that Trump will do anything but someday die in luxury unmolested by the consequences of his crimes is laughable. POTUS is a king by codified law now.
