In November 2021, shortly after Trump launched his comeback bid, the former president had dined with rapper and Nazi sympathizer Ye, better known as Kanye West, and prominent Holocaust denier Nicholas Fuentes. Just days after that, Trump published a social media post in which he called for the “termination of all rules …even those found in the Constitution.”

a nice excerpt that reminds us of how unfit for office drumpf is.

“That was the biggest slap in the face,” Conaway said during a Feb. 2023 appearance on Fox News, when asked what he thought about Biden’s decision to travel to Ukraine while the East Palestine crisis was unfolding. “That tells you right now he doesn’t care about us.”

Is it the biggest slap in the face, conaway? or was it when drumpf rolled back train safety regulations just prior to the disaster occurring? Like how he fired the federal pandemic emergency response team immediately before the pandemic? Wouldn't that be more of a slap in the face conaway? you fucking moron?
