A reminder that Trump used to terrorize teenage girls by barging into dressing rooms of pageants he owned. Some of the girls were 15 years old. He has admitted to this, and several victims are on record. Please RT.

You also have to wear a shirt in airports. And pants or shorts of some kind. Get a grip, people. You don't have the absolute freedoms you pretend to have. Civilization works because we agree to sensible rules. Masks during a global pandemic = sensible.
