Came here to say this

You don't say ....bombs away 👿💣💥

A pedophile.
An adjudicated rapist.
A convicted felon.
A pathological liar.
A sociopath.
A malignant narcissist.
A sadist.
A racist.
A fascist.
A traitor.
An insurrectionist.
A war-monger.
A demagogue.
A despot.
An enemy of the Constitution.
An American nightmare.

Liar, liar....can his pants start on fire?
