President Trump - 17,015,756 Primary Votes Kackala - O Primary Votes/1 Back Room Deal
A failed attempt on the life of President Trump and exactly one week later Joe Biden resigns. Coincidence?
So Barack Osama, supposedly the first black president, will not endorse Kackala, a black/Asian female vice president for the job. The level of hypocrisy the demoncraps demonstrate will never stop shocking me.
Remember when crooked Joe Biden was asked by Dem operative George Stephanopoulos what he would do if crazy Nancy Pelosi and Chucky Cheese Schumer told him to drop out and he leaned in with that creepy whisper and said "it's not gonna happen"? Well, it just did.
Decrepit old kiddie sniffer and career criminal politician drops out of 2024 race for president. Tell me again he got the most votes ever in history.
Hey, I'd just like to point out that President Trump was shot three days ago and there have been no riots, no burning cities, no looting, no mass destruction or chaos of any kind anywhere. Time to acknowledge that liberals are 100% of the problem in a free society.
