Just some eating and private screaming into a mypillow. On friday, he did do something. He attempted to personally interfere in the election. He invited the Senate Majority leader and speaker of the house for the state of michigan to the white house. For some bigly buttering up. That didnt work, because today, the michigan board of canvassers certified the results, officially declaring joe biden the winner. Trump had another big loss in pennsylvania to

Day 16 of squattergate. The bad president has no Public Events on his schedule but he is busy cooking up all manner of evil schemes. This really is getting scary. All jokes aside, its become very clear hes trying to cut the voters out of voting. He lost the election. Hes 6 million votes behind. Its not even close, thats a lot of votes.

Went into that hotel room with a bunch of thugs to steal his old memorabilia back . This is the white house version of that. [ laughter ] whats happening is insane.
