Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

The judges who decided against Immergut’s decision, Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade, are Trump appointees.

And he does these things because it isn't his money he is spending. And he wants to squander away all of our country's money so we will have to depend on him to give us back our benefits that he has taken away. POS!

Egypt is categorized as “not free” by Freedom House, and political opposition is nearly nonexistent. trib.al/LY6mhSn
