This is the guy who just won the primary to replace Mitch McConnell.

Mind you, seven years ago I saw a video I never forgot: coal miners with black lung took a ten hour bus ride to DC to ask McConnell, their senator, for help getting medical benefits. These people lost their health for the bottom line of the coal barons who pay off McConnell. He ran into an elevator and let the doors close on them. The video is probably still kicking around the internet.

UPDATE: here's the gist of it.

Oh yes, Trump is gloating about his primary "wins" on Truth Social, but the people he ousted are the ones who might have a chance in November. As always, Donnie has to get what Donnie wants, no matter the long terms consequences to anyone, including him.
