    That man doesn't have a legacy of public service. He was self-serving and treasonous.

    Corruption, inflation, invasion, social disorder, and war are his legacy.

    A legacy of corruption and incompetence.
  • His legacy will be of an obscure one term president who couldnt even announce in person that he was dropping out of re-election.
  • What happened? Not even a month ago you said he’s fine, the best he’s ever been, regardless what we all seen. Now due to mental issues you say he’s unfit to be president.

    They did not meet on a blind date. Jill was his friends wife. He slept with a married woman.
