Criminal Intent: tRump's Ilhan tweet... [View all]

tRump pinned this tweet. He can't say this was just a random thought. He wants this to be seen by as many people as possible. He wants it to be seen by everyone that hits his twitter feed. This is deliberately intended to incite harm against representative Ilhan. It is undeniable. In twitterverse, this is like buying a billboard in Times Square. This is harassment of the highest degree. This may be the high crime or misdemeanor that our founding fathers spoke of. I sure hope so. Presidents cannot do this. No one can do this.
