We should be using that money to pay down debt, lower taxes on the middle and lower class! Not give handouts which is why we are in this situation of high inflation, lack of pay increases to keep up with the higher prices.

Well yes, Trump does have some rather irregular priorities. This is consistent with that of an authoritarian who has misguided ambitions and who fails to see the trees (the proletariat) for their distorted view of the woods.

How about releasing the Epstein files first? Why was Trump "the dog that didn't bark" according to his good friend and child trafficker Jeffrey?
