Yeah...except for the part where Trump swore an oath to the Constitution and directly violates that oath every time he attacks the free press. Oath-sworn elected officials don't have the same rights as civilians, famous or otherwise.

Congress needs to investigate his wife's conflict of interest as a lobbyist.

Looks one step from the end

Supreme Court takes up Trump administration’s plan to ask about citizenship in censusA lower court said the question, not asked of all households since 1950, could lead to an undercount of the U.S. population. Perhaps the census should ask people their height and weight and put them in prison for lying.... like Trump. Census is used to allocate Electoral College votes so if 14-22MM IllegalImmigrants included,States that dont enforce immigration laws like CA, Il, NY will be rewarded w more electoral college votes than rightly deserved. This is why Dems care States and tax payers have the right to know what parts of their population are citizens, legal immigrants, & illegal immigrants. A clearer picture would help the immigration conversation.
