5 million people, including an estimated 1 million children, have lost access to food because of Trump. Instead of a ballroom, an arch, or a war, we could be making sure people don’t go hungry.

grandpa is talking crazy about the TV again
Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!
