• 2020 US Election Result

2020 US Election Result
Donald J. Trump - 1/9/21
Dear Patriots, when Nancy Pelosi contacted the Joint Chiefs to request the nuclear codes be kept from me, it appears she committed a seditious act. Her attempts to interfere in my administration are a national security threat. We are looking at the various Federal criminal statutes we will use to charge her. Some of the penalties include up to 20 years in prison, and in some cases the death penalty. We also have evidence that she has connections to the Chinese Communist Party, which will lead to additional charges. Thank you for your support and please spread the word that this is my official Parler account.
