And it goes on.
The man is completely unraveling.
Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.
This isn’t law and order.
It’s the most lawless presidency in American history.👇

This isn't just capitulation, it's setting Ukraine up on the chopping block if these demands were to be enacted. Defensible lines abandoned, army decimated, allies barred, Russia allowed to entrench and prepare the next inevitable attack. Outrageous doesn't even begin to cover what this bullshit is.
