I am sick of being gaslit to somehow force me to believe Trump and his cronies are doing things to help the American public. I hated the reality show. I thought his books were crap. He has always had gaudy disgusting decor ideas. He is and always was an asshole. He is and always was a failure.

The judge should require Trump to come forward with the evidence he has that people damaged the reflecting pool. He should have to appear under oath. Since he is still pushing this theory.
