Of course little of this makes headlines in the news, instead, they want to impeach our President.
We already know many in congress are in China's Pocket. How many of you believe China could be behind the push to Impeach Trump, with the speed of a meteor, before Trump could Negotiate further?
Who, in their right mind, would want to remove a President who is having such an obvious, extremely positive effect on our Economy, which, when you boil down to it, is what's making our lives better?
Could you imagine the place we would be at today, if the dem's weren't obstructing everything in congress and pulling these bullshit criminally abuses of power they are in the House?
