This Trump governing of America really has nothing to do with governing.

He hates this country, and starting J6, 2020, has been hell-bent on destroying it and harming its citizens.

Most of the pundits treat his antics as normal presidential behavior. We know it isn't. Bush was stupid and said stupid things, but he was still somewhat respectful of the office. Not this charlatan who specializes in destruction.

He wouldn't know "presidential" if it bit him in the ass.

This is not an administration - it is a take over.
