    Play Nice 47th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 22: Insert Blame Here

    I wonder how many of those 1,600 pardons came after a donation or 'financial contribution'. It's just never-ending grift

    Anthony Albanese - How long? -3-

    But isn't the $22 billion spread over the next 10 years? In comparison to the $29 billion spent in the previous 10 years. I'd say what's massive is the decrease in funding

    The investigation only started yesterday, did it? Epstein's been under investigation since 2006! But you Trump supporters just need a little bit more time
