Give him a break

Sat., Aug. 31, 2019

I don’t see a problem with Trump promoting his Florida resort for the next G-7 or G-8, if he can get his “bud” Putin back in.

I mean really! The American government is open for business, ruled by business, all its minion leaders controlled by business.

The one thing I’ve really noticed is how all the money big corporations hasn’t had to pay in taxes has rolled downhill. My pockets are full of cash and all my friends’ pockets are full. Wages have skyrocketed, to unrealistic levels.

So give the poor genius a break!
