That thing in our White House needs to have its nose rubbed in its mess. Real people suffer as consequence to his selfish, self-serving, fantasy play-acting.

He's the same white nationalist who had Bannon go to other countries meeting with neo nazi's and other hate groups to stir up people against minorities and groups they hate. trump intentionally has done this to divide , and create chaos , and distractions.
