Trump 2020. Keep America Great. Get ready for four more years Steve.
Chris: You must have a very low regard for the US Presidency, - promoting someone so inept, unqualified and incompetent as Donald J. Trump, - an immoral liar, and embarrassment for the nation and the office he is unfit to hold, while making himself a laughingstock around the world.
Thinking that Trump can “win” again, must mean that you believe the usual Republican tricks and voter suppression, plus foreign meddling, will do it again in 2020, as it so obviously did in 2016.
The choice in 2020 is to nudge towards liberty and freedom or expand the nanny state and socialism.
