[Vision2020] Trump and Wilson: Long Version with Antifa Section

[Debi Smith]

Thanks, Nick. Trump and his cronies want to equate Antifa with the KKK 
and White Supremicists to excuse their own views as "rational". NOT 
HAPPENING....

We all know who they are, and that the Trumpster is one of them....SAD 
and pretty dang scarey!
