Aponted for what, to waste people's money. As if we are short of ministers. What a continuous Joke

You hardly act as a president should. You don't arrest politicians in your government who break the law. You release convicted criminals who are in your party. You have lost the confidence of the people. Go home to America. Enjoy your family

Thank you for your honesty justice and dedication to your job and country. Love all trust few. How can you soar like an Eagle living with turkeys
