The president. Its not about politics. I have never seen him give a speech and seem as nervous as he was tonight. Thank goodness we have a president that cares about the American Worker and American Family and is doing everything in his power now to learn from whatever happened early on. Howie how much of the criticism is legitimate . Tom hanks and his wife have coronavirus, probasketball, ncaa cancels march madness and late night shows go on hiatus.
