      You’ve got to have triple commas to see the great again part.

        And the world is already great if you have triple commas, so it’s just make yourself slightly richer with no actual change in a billionaire’s lifestyle, no matter how well the actual economy does.

      It was pretty great until that catch phrase, which is the best example of “create a problem and be the solution”.

      Which should come as no surprise, since he put kids in cages last time already.

      These sociopaths have no empathy. None. They are literally inhuman in that way.

    Can we also get rid of the 25mph school zone speed limits? Parents should be responsible for keeping their own kids safe, not the general public lmao.

    We have bad guys in the executive branch. I’m a taxpayer, I’d rather 100 kids get free food that don’t “need” it than 1 kid go hungry. Feed the kids, it’s basic humanity and it’s not that hard.

    RFKJr: “kids don’t need measles vaccines, a well rounded meal is all it takes!”

    Trump: “really? Let’s just take all that food away, then.”
