By Larry Klayman WND December 3, 2019 Make no mistake about it. I think President Donald J. Trump has been doing a fantastic job as the 45th president of the United States, whether it is with regard to immigration, the economy, religious freedom, anti-terrorism or foreign policy in general, particularly with regard to the Middle East and Israel. Who but The Donald would bring the Islamic Republic of Iran to its economic knees, express support for those who want to overthrow its radical Muslim regime and at the same time move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to its capital,…

Omar said Trump’s alleged wrongdoing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr…

300+ Trump ads taken down by Google, YouTube CBS News December 2, 2019 How to handle political ads on social media has become a growing concern as the 2020 U.S. presidential election approaches.
