āWhat Trump is doing is reversing the American Revolution to reestablish this nation as a kingdom, with mad King Donald as the broligarchyās monarch. To top it off, he may be protecting the largest child sex trafficking ring in modern history?ā @malcolmnance.bsky.social substack.com/@malcolmnanc...
