But never forget the issue of money it will always be there with these nazis running our government. How can he bribe men for power or pay his private military to threaten and destroy protestors. That tariff money will go right into the turd’s pocket to pay his expenses in taking over our government.. The Supreme Court are part of his highest cost of the turds bribes.
