Poor military, I hope they got the news on the Cohen meeting.

Draft Dodger Cadet Bone Spurs pretending to be a president, thinking that he’s doing a presidential act, while being investigated for doing stuff unpresidential, and tearing down the Office of the President.

Good Luck with that.

"war time "president"". He's wanted this since he first announced his candidacy, no matter what lies he's told his cult members. Now his cult members will look at him with dewy, "patriotic" eyes, lovingly enveloping Trump in that warm glow only known to cult leaders and religious icons.

Trump may get his first boner in years tonight. Look out, Malaria, Daddy feels like a 60 year old perverted lecher again!
