The Republicans in Congress have already been compromised...they know that Trump has more then enough evidence to send the majority of them to prison for decades if not longer...

"No, I heard that they had headaches, and a couple of other things, but I would say, and I can report, it's not very serious," Trump replied during a news conference.

Sick!

If Barack Obama or Bill Clinton had lied about US Troop wounded over and over and hen trivialized their injuries like this, they would have been impeached and removed from office almost immediately.

Traumatic Brain Injury is a whole lot worse than the “headaches” that POS claimed.
