My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Classic pathetic loser with temporary power move.
#PresidentPettyPants denies free admission to our national parks on MLK Day, when people are off work, and adds his freaking birthday.

His narcissism has no limits.

Such an f'g madman. It's rare he makes me laugh out loud.
Trump keeps inventing powers he doesn’t have.

A president can’t erase another president’s lawful actions because of an autopen.

This isn’t governance, it’s magical thinking.

He’s slipping into a world where his feelings = law and anyone who contradicts him is a criminal.

Wrong!👇

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
