“Occupied”? Uh, Joe, whether or not we prefer it or not, Trump is meant to be the president of the entire nation.

The one individuals “occupying” California are the identical individuals occupying Texas, Florida, and Alabama. In the event you do not like them, decline 15% of your revenue, since they contribute that or extra. #BeBetter

so if that’s “occupied territory,” does that imply that I, as a non-Trump supporter residing in Florida, am an “enemy combatant?”
