Unnecessary disruption of family members and employers of Guard Personnel. All so a racist can impress racists. Who was President on 6 Jan 2021? Any call up of anyone? The Man is sick with the need for power for no apparent reason.

Are those on his staff in the White House complete freaking morons? My Sweet, loveable wife of more than 50 years has never been political and yet trump has unleashed her inner Patriot. His lies are so obvious, his hate palpable. His negative effect on my Wife, an Angel on Earth, makes me hate that SOB more and more every day.
