Of course, you are certainly free to continue to trash the President. Enough men and women gave their lives to insure you have that right.
I think Trump might be tweaking the higher up swamp dwellers...the ones who dwell in the 13 higher than the president security clearance levels(if there are such and if there are than those levels need to be collapsed for the sake of our republic). They are the ones really pushing for Trump to be thrown out....he wants to know where all the money is going.

Technology is being hidden that can be useful to the citzens and the economy of this nation but those sociopath termites burrowed away in their federal back offices and secret installations, who think they are gods over all the rest of us,aren’t going to let such tech out for public use....lots of copy cat agent Strzoks running around to the danger of our nation.
