Loves nailing trump. I always get a laugh out of his sly smiles and the light in his eyes when he divulges something like what he told tonight about trump KNOWING he was lying. This was about taxpayer $$ for his dumbass ballroom.

Yet with Whitehouse's priorities of combating climate change and fighting SCOTUS corruption, I'm always glad for any victories and pleasures he can get!
