And look how much he's changed since he left office! Since 2017 ("very fine people on both sides"). Since 2015 (“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”) Since...oh, forget it!

Making Attorneys Get Attorneys. Is this a great country, or what?

Don’t just sit there
