To the Worst President. Content Warning.
Dear Donald Trump, You are the most corrupt President in U.S. history. Along with one of the worst human beings on the planet. To be honest, which you know nothing of, until the 2016 Election. I didn't know or care that you even existed. And from the very first time I heard your name and saw your ugly-ass face on TV. I hated you from the very start. Even more so when you fucking cheated your way in the 2016 Election. I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. NOT YOU!!! I voted for Joe Biden in 2020. NOT YOU!!! I also voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. NOT YOU!!! The President I first voted for was Barack Obama in both the 2008 and 2012 Elections. And unlike the millions and millions of people you conned into voting your ugly orange ass. I was never fooled... And neither was my mother.
