Theyre so tired of the slick politicians. They are slick. But they dont do anything. David President Trump is now jumping in with this tweet quote a truly great patriotic and charitable man, Bernie Marcus, the co founder of home depot who at the age of 90 is coming under attack by the radical left democrats with one of their often used weapons. They dont want people to shop at those great stores because he contributed to your favorite president , me.

The president thinks he already has sufficient leverage over china. U. S. Will not sell out for a bad deal here. Will take time it needs to get the right deal.
