  well, it seems that the dumpster belong to the new trump hotel, which only indicates that either the murderers are trying to frame to our president, or they want to send a message to him and his family. little terrence disappeared earlier today from the capitol building, and didn’t manage to make it fat [sic] before his young life was shut by forces of globalist.

  terrence vaughan martin gowdy, trey gowdy’s 8-year-old son, was found dead in a dumpster in dc. the dumpster happened to belong to the new trump hotel, which is either a feeble attempt to frame the president or a message to him and his family. little trey, who went missing earlier today from the capitol building, didn’t make it far before his tender young life was cut short by forces of globalist evil looking to keep the most righteous congressman in washington silent.
