So today he declares himself plantation owner of DC


As Michael Steele put it.

Wonder if he'll go the whole way and invoke the insurrection act for the rest of us.

I have a feeling he is militarizing DC for other reasons, such as preventing his removal when he finally goes over all lives.

“He’s the head of the country,” Trump said of Kim (in 2018) during a live interview on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “And I mean he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different.”

“He speaks and his people sit up at attention,” the President added. “I want my people to do the same.”

And it can't happen soon enough -- along with the arrests of Vance, Johnson, Roberts and every frigging co-conspirator who supports the traitor.
