Theres a short on Benny Johnson’s YouTube channel that shows the reaction Harris and Biden received and then Trump received in the same NYC firehouse on the September 11th anniversary. NO ONE STOOD NO ONE CLAPPED for Biden and Harris (and the arrogance of Bidens entrance makes it hilarious) and everyone stood clapped and rushed to shake hands with Trump.

Wisdom warns a nation:
"A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth. He winks with his eyes. He shuffles his feet. He points with his fingers. Perversity is in his heart. He devises evil continually. He sows discord. Therefore, his calamity shall come suddenly. Suddenly, he shall be broken without remedy ". (Proverbs) The soul, spirit and heartbeat of Trumpism.
