The president of our nation mentioned out loud that seeing tear fuel used towards protesters these previous couple of weeks was to him, quote, a fantastic scene.

Trump is an web troll, not a president
There are two causes Donald Trump behaves the best way that he does each day.

As Maddow mentioned, “He lives for our outrage.”
Second, Trump clearly aspires to be an authoritarian ruler like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, two males he has repeatedly praised. Watching peaceable demonstrators get gassed within the streets makes him really feel like he’s nearer to having what they’ve.
In November, the American individuals could have the chance to determine whether or not this experiment of electing an web troll as president ought to proceed for an additional 4 years.
