He'll be whooping it up as if his team won the Super Bowl.

Oh, you mean interruptions? Yeah, he'll be like a church mouse in that regard.

The Republican Party delivered Trump to us, They knew he was a convicted felon (34x)...and still foisted him on us because they had nothing else to offer.

They are an organized crime party. RICO them.
