Trump's D.C. Takeover - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez



Donald Trump's D.C. takeover isn't about crime.

Yeah

Some sort of intra Maga war. There was a thread in GD yesterday about Loomer versus MTG that was..well it was something else. I don’t think Trump is good for the mental health of even his supporters..

Not to mention, they're either trying to curry favor or they've totally lost it!
