This whole thing is a look in the mirror. It pains me to say it. We have too much hate that is not going to go anywhere but into the dirt. That will change, but only through time and their pain.

They've done most of it under the radar. Americans didn't know about it until it was too late.

The media will not report on it.

Democrats (DNC, candidates or elected Dems) will not mention it either.

Most of Americans still have no idea what happened or how we got here and thus have no idea how to fix this.

His tweets are meant to distract as are the BS issues he rants about.

Idea is to rile his base and keep our eyes off Republican actions.
