Report: Trump Literally Did Not Understand The Effects of A Shutdown
This country is ran by idiots, plain and simple… and quite frankly, scary! The Trump administration’s shutdown of the federal government over the last two weeks is a synecdoche for the way it has run the federal government over the last two years. They blundered into it almost by accident, without any understanding of what… Continue reading Report: Trump Literally Did Not Understand The Effects of A Shutdown
