They hang on every word of Trump's as truth.

Trump is a con man looking for an "angle". A way in. A way in which to get what Donald Trump wants. Do you think US laws really matter to Donald Trump and William Barr? That is what you have to be aware of. Just how far will Donald Corruption Trump go to remain in power?

Laws mean nothing to this GOP crowd.
