"A cowardly son, to a cowardly doesn't know how to lead" That sir is

[stacia]

The adjectives used are totally fitting.

I do not recall seeing Lawrence so happy! Thanks for all the Vids...

[margaretdimick]

He had no intention of stopping it. He was enjoying the whole thing.

[akinnon]

While very polite, this is the most brutal take down of donald trump ever. Good job Lawrence.

[patrickdevlin]

THIS ... brings tremendous joy, in these dark times
Cheers Lawrence!

Still think presidential nominees need to be required to pass a psychological evaluation to become presisent. Emotional stability is important for good decision making. Its the key trait of the job.

I had already given up all hope that the American people will cope with the task to hold Trump accountable for his many misdeeds. It feels bad even for an outsider to see a real criminal getting away with it. The latest developments provide me with a glimmer of hope that justice will be done but am far from convinced that it will happen. Dear Americans, JUST DO IT.

45 repeatedly claimed that he'd make his tax returns public "when the audits are completed".
Cultists are trained to get amnesia.

He really is like an angry toddler. Surreal.

The most terrifying thing about the narcissist is that they are intent on taking everything that takes them down with them.

[Bob-of-Zoid]

Sorry! But the only reason Fox reporters tried to stop him, is because they realized how much of a role they played in it, and realized what their ignorance in favor of views really amounted to in that thing called REALITY that they so foolishly didmissed, and that they could be held responsible for it, and I think they should!

[josephkordinak]

What goes around comes around. I hope he gets everything he has coming to him.

Donald Trump used to frequently tweet about “Law and Order”. But it’s funny, he seems to think law and order never applies to him.

[skuggensdam]

I'm happy knowing that The Donald is stressed out. After all of the grief he's caused it seems perfectly fair that he's suffering.

[carolynlambert]

Lawrence how well you called it, well well well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[sergioguillen]

wow I agree with a lot of people here who thinks these were some hard core words.

“He has to lead now “. that is a cry from the deepest part of Donald Trump Junior‘s shallow heart. The hopeless cry from a cowardly son to a cowardly father who has never known how to lead. Donald Trump has never known how to lead anyone. not (even) his children.

[DemocracyDeb]

👏👏👏He’s never known how to lead. Fantastic Lawrence

What's criminal is the length of time it takes for justice to happen.
