that he intends to build a media empire for his deplorables, a sort of Breitbart on 'roids. I can see that; he will want a platform from which to make Mrs. Clinton's presidency impossible. The Tea Party went to Washington to tear it down. This creep will try to finish the job. My major hope is that he'll be convicted of tax fraud, rape, or some other felony. Wouldn't it be delicious if he goes to prison?
