What’s up, everybody! It’s July 25th, 2024. During the entire month of April 2024, ever since April 15th, Trump is inside a CRIMINAL TRIAL in COURT. He has nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, he spied for the Russians, the Chinese, and stole Nuclear Secrets. I have the U.S. Air Force ALMANAC 2023 in my hands, and there is no where in Hell you will ever let that man, Donald J. Trump ANYWHERE near our Nuclear Doomsday Weapons, EVER AGAIN. I will personally guarantee that FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Burns will see my reports and admit that we need to write it into law that Trump is never President ever again, or it will be the downfall of America, there will be no more Presidential Elections, and the country will never be able to handle the next worst pandemic, should there ever be one. Thank you for paying attention, I eat sunflower seeds, I suggest you listen to what the fuck it is I am saying. Thank you.

Until Next Time!
