Figure if they can't get his HC vote they'll get some dirt OR plant some dirt. One way or the other with these thugs. They even prey on their own.

That's just the way these Brownshirts roll.

Oh, you just know Trump is pissed he can't Tweet a congratulatory note to the perpetrators, but nevertheless he's smirking.
