Good to know Salaam got to confront one of his political accusers.

Trump's adled brain could not process the fact that the person he wanted executed was standing, free, in front of him.

"In that response, Trump insinuated that Democrats were digging up old baggage to hit him with, and dismissed Salaam’s relevance."

You know what else is old baggage? Epstein. I wish that old pedo was confronted with that old baggage.

Slavery? It was finished over a century and a half ago, get over it. The concern now is to keep innocent White children from feeling bad about it.

The Confederate Flag? That's our heritage, Man! We have a right to keep it alive and celebrate it. Do you know how hard we had it when the Yankees were down here busting up the place? Our grievances are legitimate.

What he did to Salaam is unforgivable! Anyone else pulling this shit and their political career would be over!

The Trump Cult, the MAGAts, are a disgrace this country will never be able to overcome!
