“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Did Boris learn nothing from catching COVID entirely by disregarding caution and personally visiting and shaking the hands of COVID patients?

Never, ever forget that every single layoff and cut that Trump makes from here on is going straight toward paying for billionaire tax breaks.

That's the entire point of all of this.
