12. Yes. I think it is him. He has an evil agenda for quite some time now

He stays pretty hidden. Let me see if I can find that article I read on him last year and post it. It is scary as hell. But everything trump is doing now falls into that agenda. Turn everything upside down. If you notice, every person he wants to put into their respective offices goes against the prime directive of that office.

Newt and the SIL are not smart enough.

doing all this because of his Failed Business deals with these Countries? Canada,Toronto Building goes bust and word has it his name sake in Vancouver is about to upside down. Mexico just sued him for Taxes owed for a failed Resort deal. And of course China,they recently dumped his ass on a Project.

Pretty obvious Donnie Dingle Berry is using his position to either pad his bank account,or to fight off pending Business law suites.

used to say that. You know what I say? Fifty-four forty AND fight! I'm tired of Canada kicking us around! And Mexico! I know you're tired of Canada and Mexico kicking us around! This is why I went to the CIA first. All those Canadians who vote illegally! We're going to stop that"

On a serious note what is the measure of a president who embraces Russia and pushes away Canada and Mexico?
