"SNIP........

The FBI has said it can find no records related to former President Donald Trump’s assertions in November that he “sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys” to stop “ballot theft” in Florida during the 2018 election, NBC News reports.

If they were *real* Americans, they’d have been all over it!

We hope it doesn’t come as a surprise when we tell you that Donald Trump, former president of the United States, struggles to tell the truth, and that when we say that he struggles we mean every time he opens his mouth, dozens of lies fly out like the monkeys in The Wizard of Oz.

Sometimes the lies are big and offensive, like when he declared, on 9/11, that one of the buildings he owned downtown was now the tallest one in Manhattan on account of the Twin Towers being leveled. Other times the lies are minor and largely pointless, like his oft-repeated claim that he’d been named Michigan’s “Man of the Year,” despite the fact that this award does not exist. The lies have been deranged, like when he quintupled down on the one that Alabama was going to be hit by a hurricane; they’ve been dangerous, like when he lied about COVID-19; and they’ve been legitimately insane, like when he said that Ivanka Trump had created 14 million jobs, despite the fact that the country had only added roughly 6 million during her time at the White House.

he ran his 'presidency' just like he did his fake TV show - it was all about HIM and getting to show power and thrust out his chest.
It had NOTHING to do with what could 'MAKE AMERICA "BETTER" - he didn't CARE about that! It was ALL about HIM!
