Trickle up works. Erasing poverty benefits the rich.

DJT is trying to distract you from the Epstein files (they have enough votes to release ALL the documents now), the voluntary war, gas prices, grocery prices and the war crimes by banning the media. He’s having a HUGE tantrum because he’s SCARED!
