and now he's going to release a convicted drug trafficking presidential candidate.

Why doesn't he just write an executive order to fire himself?

Except Dump is too stupid to keep it secret. He thinks by announcing his criminality it makes it all ok. We are way past the time to impeach. Fucking Congress needs to remove this criminal from the white house.
