Trump’s own words:
"On political corruption, we are going to restore honor to our government, '' Trump said in August 2016. “In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law."

@ImBreckWorsham What is so shocking? Kushner scored $2B from Saudi Arabia. The entire Trump clan is the biggest bunch of grifters—don’t you know? Do some research, and you won’t be shocked.
Even if Trump never engaged in abusing underaged girls, and the key word here is IF, the Epstein files indicate that at MINMIUM he knew who was and did nothing to stop it in order to protect his own interests.
Knowing a child is being sex trafficked and doing nothing about it is just as bad as being a pedophile himself.
If this is true, he must resign.
Dear Liberals,
You and I are not friends.
We disagree on everything from abortion to the Second Amendment. Your belief system is abhorrent to nearly every personal and political value I hold.
That said, you did try to warn us about Trump.
You screamed and yelled from the mountaintops that he was not what he presented himself to be, and I, like many, refused to listen.
I mocked you. I laughed at you when he won. I felt entitled to his victory because I dedicated eight years of my life to his campaign.
My eyes are now open.
This is not the man I voted for.
When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.
I am sorry.
I apologize.
I like the Pitt and am very happy for all their wins but the Adam Scott loss really stings. That man is insanely talented in Severance and it’s baffling to me that he hasn’t been rewarded for it. The camcorder scene alone should’ve solidified his win #Emmys
How are you going to tell me the same hospital drama that has been done 1 million times is a better drama series than something as one of a kind as SEVERANCE #Emmys
@piersmorgan Shame on you for turning one man’s bad behavior into vilification of an entire political party. Democrats do not condone assassination. Aren’t you a journalist? Shouldn’t you avoid sweeping commentary and unfounded statements?
Before Trump, there wasn't constant talk of a civil war, there was no "national divorce" idea, we weren't obsessed with red states vs blue states.
Think back to Bush Sr, Bush Jr. Obama, Bill Clinton, and every other president. When did us vs them explode? Who was the 1st POTUS to viciously curse their opponents in every debate and every post?
He lit the fire. And it will take us years to put it out.
My observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence & calling for calm while MAGA are escalating rhetoric & lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
