spree of destruction is making me HEARTSICK. Besides just the colossal WASTE of OUR money that should be being used to feed the hungry, house the homeless and provide access to healthcare for we the people, it's NOT HIS! He just has to imprint his tacky, tin-pot dictator ego b.s. on EVERYTHING that should be sacred to all of us.

I cannot believe what the entire WORLD is being forced to go through simply because one effed-up family didn't love their evil spawn.

Thank the gods my mother isn't alive to see this.
