My question is, why is this an issue NOW if it's been going on for nineteen years?
Probably has not been going on for 19 years. Trump doesn't like because it is just another rub against him being Putin's butt boy. Can't blame him for being upset it came to light. He thinks, if nobody knows, it is the same as not having happened or happening. He should have never dropped trou for Vlad and the other totalitarian a$$holes of the world from the beginning. he thought there would be advantage, but has only caused problem. Putin's a player. trump is a chump.
Interesting. Trump has been tougher on Russia with far more sanctions than any previous president. Yet, your left's retarded reasoning, he's Putin's BFF. About all he could do more, would be to declare war on Russia....oh wait, that would give you another thing to ***** about.
We know that you suffer from the, Trump Derangement Syndrome, Orange-man bad mentality.
We also know that this is actually brought on by being:
1. George Soros puppets.
2. Marxists.
Your ultimate goal: End the very country that millions came to, from all over the world, to seek liberty...freedom. That very thing young people in China have been chanting for and getting arrested and murdered for. Those people that do manage to leave such nations, are hoping to see their dreams of living without oppressive rule by Socialist, Communist, Military Junta, or Oligarchy, governments lording over their lives.
This nation has had its dark past, but unlike other governments, acknowledged it and because of its Constitution, people of all races and backgrounds have seen their dreams come true.
We have black astronauts, scientists, business leaders, physicians, politicians, artists and policemen/women. We also have Hispanics and Asians that have also achieved those same dreams.
Unlike many nations our way of government has created a middle-class and even those poor that do exist in this nation, in many cases, live better than those in third-world nations. As to our homeless population, you can go to any Islamic nation, Communist government, et cetera and find homeless. It's just a fact of life.
