A Fox News opinion peice expressed dismay that the 2 young girls were upset by the lack of civility shown to their father.

So Mr. Trump is visiting the beautiful Dakotas and the ego fluffing rallying continues without pause. Just like yesterday, Trump will continue his rants and attacks on the media and spread lies about Democrats./1 #TrumpEgoRallies #CultureOfCorruption #Cult45

If you want a future beyond the current #CultureOfCorruption I suggest you resign and explain publicly and honestly why you are resigning. Then and only then will you be considered an honest agent and perhaps a patriotic hero.
The American people are confronted with a #GOP Congress and Administration that are relentlessly ransacking the futures of American families and seniors, all to further enrich their lobbyist and special interest friends, big corporations and the wealthiest one percent. /1
From health care, to taxes, to good-paying jobs, to critical consumer protections, President Trump and the #Republican Congress are selling out the American people at every turn: /2 #ARawDeal #CultureOfCorruption #RepublicanGreed

The worse thing that has happened is what @SenateMajLdr has done to the Senate
Historically the Senate was designed to provide equal representation for each state 2 reps per state, A voice for the Minority option
This was done to promote bipartisanship

Todayās guilty verdicts against Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort & guilty plea by Trumpās personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, are further evidence of the rampant #CultureOfCorruption & criminality at the heart of Trumpās inner circle.
Cohenās admission of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in hush money āat the direction of the candidateā to influence the 2016 election shows @realDonaldTrumpās claims of ignorance to be far from accurate, & places him in even greater legal jeopardy.
These convictions are further proof that Special Counsel Muellerās team & prosecutors in New York are conducting thorough & professional investigations, which must be permitted to continue free from interference. #FollowTheFacts goo.gl/DQXT4Q
