[tommyl.dayandtherunaways]

I mean it's like Trump is almost begging to be impeached. Maybe he thinks it'll get huge ratings. "I'll be bigger than Nixon!"

This has turned into Trump vs the united states and all that is good.

[Arigna]

Donald Trump still thinks he above the laws but is he nothing just mad man who still in love with Clinton, Obama and Comey.

He’s just trying to change the subject away from Ivanka’s use of a personal email to conduct government business.

[muuuuuud]

I blame the GOP for the ongoing trump nightmare, they could impeach him any day and yet they do nothing.

[Phi]

Putting your political opponents in prison would be item #14 on the list of tyrannical behaviors.
