He'll do anything for attention... even disrespect his own fallen soldiers that he sent to war without Congress' approval. He needed to be in the news today...as an anti-American.

Take care and be well. Sorry to hear this. I believe I sometimes have mild claustrophobia (elevators, flying) and I've had a few MRI's but spacing out and trying to sleep during the procedure has worked so far for me... but I am aware of it...

Trump's public "definition of liberty" is a lie designed to serve himself and not society. Trump & Miller's "Golden Age" is nothing other than a self-serving golden calf.

I don't believe anyone in politics is really "blind" to anything... how could the entire Dem party not know about Jan. 6th beforehand??
