This is troubling. WHY didn't our security agencies stop him before he got to the WH? I kept wondering that throughout 2016.
@ProjectLincoln If the FBI had any awareness of Trump's NINE FIGURE debts, why didn't they tell us?. Trump's debts constitute an immense national security threat bc our adversaries can use them to blackmail him into acting against US interests. They told us about EMAILS, but not this?!.
