We're not using the word "corruption" enough

Affordability is the number one issue in America and it’s a winning message for Democrats because Trump has caused inflation.

But we should not stop there. Donald Trump is corrupt and we’re not saying it. Our politicians should make it clear that Donald Trump threatened to stop construction of a bridge to Canada because the rival bridge owner gave him $1 million.

We should make it clear that Eric Trump is investing in a drone company that’s been getting contracts from Donald Trump.

These and many others are examples of Donald Trump using the government to enrich himself and his kids. Donald Trump is corrupt and we need to say it loud and clear.

He supports his minion Kashyap Patel, in giving the SWAT team to his girlfriend for personal security

When they see nothing being done.

Campaign Ad:
Point out the corruption Loudly
Acknowledge nothing being done.
Point out Hump has ruined the DOJ
AND THAT IN ITSELF IS THE CORRUPTION TOO
BECAUSE A NORMAL DOJ Would GO AFTER CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT.
