screenshot of a social media exchange.

The top post from The White House (@WhiteHouse) features a video thumbnail of Donald Trump sitting at a desk with his hands folded, accompanied by the text: "The days of fraudsters stealing from the American people are over."

Below it, a quote tweet from Canada Hates Trump (@AntiTrumpCanada) reads: "The biggest fucking fraudster in American history who's pardoned hundreds of fraudsters and appoints fraudsters to run the government, says what??"

An elegant, preening Limpkin (Aramus guarauna) is acting as a #BirdSupermodel for #BirdoftheDay. #birds #Florida
A Limpkin is filling the vertical frame in a graceful pose, with upper body facing right, large bent wing extended down and towards the viewer, and long neck contorted so head is turned left and downward, with the bird’s long bill half hidden under raised feathers being preened. The bird is chocolate brown with streaks of white — many small streaks on the neck, which become progressively fewer and larger as they reach the body. The held out wing has large white streaks in the largest feathers, and the feathers shine beautifully in the light. The bird’s eye is dark brown and what can be seen of the bill is golden. The background is rich, elegant olive-green to olive-gold tones.

This is from a now not-anonymous woman who was a child when Trumpy told her he would kill her and her family if she ever said anything. Toady Blanche is making sure all the girls (now women) he assaulted don't talk. ut those of us who are paying attention 100% know what Trumpy did to so many kids.
