(24,237 posts)I will not "rally" around the flag and president if there's an "attack" like the last GOP POTUS had.
After the lack of help or patriotic support when we had a depression and the GOP bailed on the Democrats they are on their own now with me.

He thinks he's running a company not a nation.
He's playing with live ammo.
