Shepherds such a big deal they even have their own twitter account. Naturally. Hello, im katty kay in washington. Christian fraser is in london. Whatever political currency President Trump still has, it is dwindling by the day. The focus is shifting to the president elect. Heres an example. Last night, pfizer called the biden team to tell them about their covid vaccine. The Pharmaceutical Company knows where the power now lies. Donald trump hasnt yet conceded.

Indebtedness to a foreign adversary while running a president ial campaign to the tune of millions
