He wore a mask in public. It happened at Walter Reed National military Medical Center as he visited Wounded Soldiers and staff. Here he is explaining his decision. I think its a grea
Political strategy of hate, racism and division. And President Trump says those massive immigration raids in mississippi that separated kids from their parents are a warning sign, plain and simple.

After that shooting in el paso, President Trump did not receive the warmest of welcomes. There were many reasons for that. Including the huge bill he has yet to pay for a rally he held in that city in february. Man, going back to el paso when you owe the still 500,000 is a bold move.

We start this morning with el paso, the defendant stated his targets were mexicans. That line is from
