That one kid who never did the group project but still slapped his name on it? Yeah — that’s your president. Always hustling the credit, never doing the work.The con never ends.

Typical Don the Con. Did none of the work. Took all the credit. Classic.

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate
