It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

People are way too eager to go "I'll call ICE on you" as though it's a joke to detain someone and possibly kill them without due process. Quite frankly I think it qualifies as a death threat to do that or otherwise abuse calling the police or SWAT.

Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.
