Trump is reweeting the funny tweet ever!

One of the tweets this morning stated "It has been 3 years and Donald Trump hasn't done anything wrong. Donald Trump hasn't done a single thing that he has been accused."


Well, if that were true? Why are they trying to defend him every time they turn around!
