What a nasty, petty, small, vengeful, hateful piece of shit the former 'president' is.
Not surprised in the least. A dick until the end.
the crooked POS probably clogged the toilet too ...
When he gets sent to prison Donnie's gonna have to buttle for himself.
Good for Trump....hope he didn't flush and left the seat up
Is there no end to the disgraceful bullshit this fucktard douche canoe is capable of. He needs mental help.
Like Democrats never pull any shit on incoming Republican administrations. Check your own damn party first.
As for Trump, consider it pay back for the last 5 years of complete and utter Democratic bullshit. China Joe was only slightly delayed finding a spot in the White House basement to hide.
