Considering all of the above, #GOP / #Republicans / #AmericanCongress and #MAGA, what does the data suggest about #DonaldTrump?

#DumbDonald #TrumpLies #TrumpianLies.

#AllAmericans and #AmericanMilitaryAndPolice have fallen under the power of an elected but deeply dishonest and emotionally disturbed (and not too bright) “American President” who appears to treat the entire nation with contempt. #WeThePeople need the fallen of the Republican Party, if they are that, to #StandUp anyway to help get the pirate’s hands off the levers and returned to the hands of the lawful, responsible, and true.

#AmericanCharacterAndIntegrityMatter; #CourageAndCuriosityMatter; #TruthMatters.
