He fancies himself the ruler of an absolute monarchy, where he answers to no one, always gets what he wants without question, and criticism of him is treason.

That's what he knows how to do and that's how he conducts his Presidency. It's all about the ratings, folks! Ratings for Donald J. Trump! It's all that matters to him and what he really focuses on.

Excellent speech. Calls it like it is in the real world. More Congressmen and women, and people in influential positions need tp stand up and be heard. This country has more than enough morons and cowards. This is a war of words...and this brave Congressman has been counted. Where are you????
