Rape is not so much about the sexual act as it is about power. The desire to take away a person’s soul. To steal their worth. To crush their will. Dirty them. To lord power over them. Trump is that man. He is raping our county & getting away w/it! ICE people are the same. He should be castrated!

Trump is not interested in making any “peace deal” w/Putin. He’s just putting on show. Putin lands on US soil as a wanted war criminal. If he landed anywhere else he would be arrested. Trump has no business speaking on behalf of Ukraine. Same guy who faced impeachment over that “perfect call.”
