I never imagined that happening in America.
I knew things could get crazy in this country, but I never thought this would be part of it. Usually former presidents understand the overwhelming seriousness of the job and don't get involved with making things worse for the next guy.
It is so sad that the record of peaceful transfer of power has been broken in America.

go door to door to get out the vote

(2,062 posts)For Trump, the presidency was all about enriching and benefiting himself - that's it. Whatever the outer situation was, including Ukraine's fight for national survival, it was nothing more than something to scam and profit off of for personal gain, be it financial or political. Nothing more concerned him.

Result? Liberals are the enemy, the real enemy is our friend, the truth is fake and the propaganda is the truth.
We're turned inside out.
