Unprecedented corruption & constitutional crimes. Again, it all should have ended in 2017, when he began openly monetizing the presidency at his hotel two blocks from the White House. We are not a serious country.

Explosive Revelations: China Aided Iran in Soldier Killings Amid Trump Xi Feast
In a shocking revelation, U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Chinese satellite technology has significantly enhanced Iran's military capabilities, ultimately facilitating a deadly strike that killed three American soldiers in Jordan over the summer. The striking details come to light as President Donald Trump hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House, amidst ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Analysts fear the implications of this cooperation could escalate conflicts in the Middle East.
