For those keeping track: Trump has torn down a third of the White House, illegally put his name on a national monument, and is working overtime to cover up for a sex trafficker for some reason 🤔. But still no word on lowering grocery, healthcare, and housing prices.

Gee thanks, Donald. Your $1,776 "warrior checks" aren't Christmas bonuses—you're just stealing money out of a fund meant to help our troops find affordable housing. Once a conman always a conman.

OVERNIGHT: President Trump’s $1,776 checks for 1.45 million troops announced Wednesday night come from Congressionally-allocated reconciliation funds intended to subsidize housing allowances for service members, a senior official confirmed to @DefenseOne. https://t.co/mGWski9Exl

Now the coverup is out in the open. This is far from over. Everyone involved will have to answer for this. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, whole admin. Protecting a bunch of rapists and pedophiles because they have money, power, and connections. Bondi should resign tonight.
