#BrianKilmeade, on #Trump killing alleged drug boaters:
If he went to Congress for permission they'd ask for proof that these guys were guilty, and OF COURSE he can't prove it! What proof could there be? So silly! US intel told Trump they were guilty, and that's all we need to know!

I don't know how there could be a hundred or a thousand protesters against #Trump. Obviously it must be a conspiracy. Obviously somebody is paying these people to oppose him.
What other explanation could there be?

The US government is $38 trillion in debt, and there's no way to pay that by taxing Americans no matter how high, so the only way to pay it is tariffs!
