No doubt Trump will respond with his usual unhinged Truth Social early morning post.

It was very soothing to see all 5 sane ones. I needed that. And it was a very nice service for a great man. My mom voted for Jesse and I think I would have if I was old enough.

Just think if we counted presidential votes like we do ALL other voting. Trump certainly wouldn't have gone away quietly, but he'd have had no other choice for four years, bur to move to the sidelines.

Unfortunately, it is very hard to prove and nothing will ever be done about it. No one will ever convince me that both of our legitimately elected women presidents were overridden by the Epstein class.

Those would have been our presidents. But one real president wasn't there. President Al Gore is missing from the group.

BUT we've let all these years pass and done nothing about it. Result? Trump in office twice.
