Trump is the First to do Many Things in U.S. Politics
We all know that Trump is the first U.S. President to do many things, but almost all of those things he is first at are bad things. He if first because all past presidents had more moral fortitude and higher intelligence and avoiding doing things that would permanently damage the power and prestige of the office as well as of our country.

- Mr Trump demanded a “full-throated” apology from Janet Mills, the Democratic governor of Maine, and a promise to never make an “unlawful challenge” to the federal government.
