The President Is a White-Nationalist Mob Boss—and His Base Doesn’t Care
Diehard Trump supporters represent at most a quarter of the electorate, but dominate media discussions of the president’s standing. They shouldn’t. https://t.co/6mqYlDxFdm

Because this is Trump this story won't even last 24 hours but the fact that the President repeatedly attacks basic principles of the rule of law is truly shocking and outrageous. The only reason he doesn't act on it is b/c he's not strong enough, yet. https://t.co/0XaJjWgN5p

America is respected when our political leaders make decisions that enhance global peace, security, & prosperity. No amount of bluster, false bravado, & self promotion brings respect. Untold millions wait for American values to run through the veins of those entrusted to lead. https://t.co/7torif1wBP

1. The Daily Telegraph launched a disinformation campaign against the Electoral Commission the moment Vote Leave was found guilty of breaking electoral law. 2. Boris & his team were instrumental in covering up & orchestrating the illegal Vote Leave scheme. This is propaganda. pic.twitter.com/GEBp1wuHxZ

Pretty straightforward. Data shows that DUP is increasing chances of a United Ireland by embracing #Brexit – can there ever have been a more ridiculous stance from a Unionist party? Am in Belfast today surveying the scene! https://t.co/U2mfiUvSf3
