Donald trumps name. The closest he could get was, vote your conscience. And he got screamed at and booed at and he got yelled off the stage.

Were going to build a wall he now has to transition to governance. I think these conversations are always best in private, particularly when youre forming a cabinet. Its going to be a solid gold cabinet, full of all the finest snacks. Trump is not draining the swamp. Nope, hes inviting the biggest, ugliest swamp monsters in the front door. Its very humbling to me being bac
