Customer Reviews
We must get real.
Trump has never, in his long history of criming, been held accountable and never will be held accountable by our injustice system. Jails are only reserved for innocents and dissidents who happen to be from the working classes, and some criminals from the “lower” classes, but never any wealthy and powerful criminals. And America has 2 criminals running for president. One committing war crimes and genocide by starving a million people. Morally bankrupt. America is in steep decline.

On Target 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Lawrence’s analysis of Hope Hicks on the stand at Trump’s election interference trial in New York is why I listen. In all the coverage, only Lawrence did not bow to her appearance, her tears, or her mild manner. He nailed the situation and did it eloquently. Privilege, out-of-her-depth at the White House, selling out for access. His comparison between Hick’s and the Social Media pro for the prosecution on the stand the same day was on target. Thank you Lawrence for seeing things so clearly and reporting what others won’t or can’t. 🎯
