I've sen the thumbnail for this (is it on Netflix? One of the channels...) but I'm sure I won't watch it. I disliked Trump long before he was president — I don't need the screeching that accompanies

Re: presidential election: Roger Stone urges Trump to declare martial law if election stolen by Dems
Is there any truth to the claim that this was a quid pro quo for the Republican acceptance of the election of Kennedy in 1960? It was widely claimed that voter fraud in Illinois swung the election
