If you’re 18-29 years old you MUST vote! Period! You know Trump is fleecing the country and with a $40 TRILLION deficit it’s going to impact your age group in the years to come. Especially think about the Supreme Court, a Democratic Senate would stop crazy judges who say Presidents can do anything!
