I think i would if i were in a group of people and i was close. You would wear one . Oh, i would oh, i have. People have seen me wearing one. Actually, we really havent seen you wearing one. And you told people that you wouldnt, because you didnt want to give the media the satisfaction. And you said, many times, that you didnt like the look, and you didnt think it worked for you. See. The fact is, you havent worn one since the cdc advised americans, back in april, to do it. You said you were a wartime president. That means you lead, by example. This is what you said, at the time. I dont think im going to be doing it. Wearing a face mask. As i greet presiden
Romneys accusation that could be a bomb shell in Donald Trumps tax returns. Mark, mitt romney launched a bomb shell tonight by predicting a bomb shell for donald trump. What happened . Reporter he did. Donald trump is motoring towards in nomination, causing a lot of fear among the republican establishment. A few hours ago on fox, mitt military speaking about Donald Trumps taxes had this to say. Lets take a listen, don. Frankly, i think we have good reason to believe that theres a bomb shell in Donald Trumps taxes. What do you mean . I think wills something there, either hes not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is or he hasnt been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay or perhaps he hasnt been giving money to the vets or to the disabled like hes been telling us hes been doing and i think thats the reason that i think theres a bombshell in there is because every time hes asked about his taxes, he dodges and delays and says, well, were working on it. Hey, were not talki

He is loppying the attack this time against ted cruz. Explain what is going on here. Thats right. And donald trump and ted cruz have been playing nice with one another. They are ahead in the polls in iowa. But donald trump changed his tune. He basically questioned whether it would be a problem if ted cruz were the nominee because he was born in canada. And in true trump style he lobbed the attack and then backed away a little. Are you questioning his birthright or citizenship . Im not at all but i know it is being questioned all over and i know the Washington Post asked me that question today. Saw i know is a lot of people are talking about it.
