Paid a visit to my old workplace, the White House, today. Serenaded Trump & Stephen Miller with the Mexican National Anthem (Iβm sure they loved that). Was strolling through DC looking for the violence they hyped earlier today...another manufactured crisis to distract from the Epstein files.

Iβm watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
She is covering this Administration better than any other journalist/news host.
Mondays at 9pm. We have her that one hour a week, and we should all be watching her.
Rachel #Maddow is out here in her A-Block reminding us that thereβs no bigger protector or enabler of vile criminals than Donald βTough on Crimeβ Trump:
Triple-murderer Dahud Hanid Ortiz
Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell
Jan 6 insurrectionist Jared βKill Copsβ Wise
These are Trumpβs kind of people.
