  8. “No one is above the law.”
    “A sitting President can’t be indicted.”

  9. USA. No good a trouble maker at large distraction from all his dirt to start a war with iran… Bolton and fake potus alike!

  10. A reporter asked Trump…”What if someone told his Wife to go back to where she comes from (Slovenia)”…and Trump went silent…
