Kamala said to Trump: Putin is gonna eat you for lunch. She was right, and could have said the same thing about Bibi.

Why did we get into this war? Because Putin and Bibi told Trump to do it.

How can a compulsive liar be someone who what he says he means? That doesn’t make sense. What he accuses is what he is guilty of more like it
