What ever happened to ending waste and fraud? Spending money on an
unnecessary ballroom that wasn't supposed to use taxpayer money. The
reflecting pool given to a no-bid contractor. The massive arch that nobody
needs. How about dropping prices on day one? Ending the Ukraine/Russia
conflict right after the election. No payroll taxes or tax on overtime and tips.
The conman strikes again and MAGA minions eat that shit up. The cult shares in the decay of our nation.
Is that Palm Beach Pete?
Hello? I don't hear anything from the RGV MAGAS? Hmm. Wonder why?
