It’s disgusting to watch how Trump exploits the wounds of soldiers to support his fascist regime.

He is making up numbers again. And, that limp mic hanging down behind him looks like the limp dick of every eunuch Congressperson that keeps bowing down to him! #Trump is full of 💩!

But he became incredibly frustrated about two things Trump ran on, and didn’t deliver on — the economy, and the releasing the Epstein files.

But #MAGA is trying — again — to make him one of us. Nah, guys. This one’s 100% on you. #AustinTuckerMartin

UH OH: Austin Tucker Martin, the young man killed at Mar-a-Lago, was a Christian Trump supporter.

He wasn’t trans, he wasn’t Democrat, he wasn’t an immigrant... he wasn’t a minority of any kind, according to friends interviewed by TMZ.

Until credible reporting confirms otherwise, this should be treated as unverified and likely misinformation. #FactCheck but #believable 😑 #Trump
