We have to talk about Donald Trump. He is fantastic. What I like about what he has done so far is none of it’s a surprise. He actually does what he said he would do. The mainstream media still can't get their head around it. I watched CNN twisting themselves into a knot over the pardons and the fact a lot of what he says isn't true. It's as though they still think by moaning about it anything is going to change. The Trump era is the most legitimate democratic thing you will see anywhere in the

It doesn't have an ending because there's two parts. So you get half a story, and it takes half your life to watch. We should not be encouraging this type of time wasting.
