Breaking news: Trump has declared himself a war hero. The guy that received six deferments, one of which was for bone spurs to get out of the draft. The war hero is sending in the national guard to the District of Columbia because of all the crime, but he didn’t do a thing on Jan. 6, what he did was watch on TV while 1,600 violent criminals attacked the capital and put 200 capital police in the hospital. Then after all that war hero stuff, he pardoned those criminals, no wonder there is a lot of crime. We have 1,600 more violent criminals on the street.

Washington D.C. is not even in the top 10 cities with the most crime per capita. Those 10 cities are all in states that voted for Trump. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida, all are leaders in crime and gun violence.

We know the president is a convicted felon already. So why isn’t he releasing the Epstein files, like he and Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino all called for, over the last several years? The reason is that Trump is named in the files many times and with his past statements of grabbing women, he is very likely to have committed the same crimes as Epstein and Maxwell, who by the way was moved to a minimum security prison shortly after a Trump lawyer interviewed her all by himself with no record or witness of what was talked about.

Maxwells crimes of sex trafficking minors does not allow for her to be in a minimum security prison. I wonder what agreement was reached to keep her silent? With all the lying of president trump we can’t call him out on everything, but a few things we can, ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours, ending Gaza war in one day, Mexico paying for the wall, lowering prices on groceries and gas by 50% on day one. Then to top off the war hero slash convicted felons very stable genius actions, he put a war criminal Putin in the United States limousine. Can anyone say coverup?
