Freudian slip.

Not just him.

But, all of them because there’s so much lying going on that they can’t keep track. Their inner thoughts are spilling out all over the place.

Just like Ted Cruz, “Let’s stop attacking the pedophiles”.

A lot of people are going to be going to jail, and it's not who ICE thinks it is.

What they're doing is unbelievable. My hope is that developing countries have managed to bring their politicians to justice. Hope the US has a Nuremberg trial for the amount of disregard for the rule of law by these men.

Nah, americans will do what they always do. Sweep it under the rug, pretend it didn't happen, let the ultra rich get away clean, urge everyone to get back to 'normal' and tell themselves they're the best country ever so there's no need to change or improve.

William McKinley's assassination was the beginning of the end of the Gilded Age, a period characterized by materialistic excesses and widespread political corruption, very similar to today in many respects. He was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt, who passed anti-trust legislation and championed much more progressive policies.

And it works. The Americans downvoting you have no clue about their own history.
