Not even on the Republican parties radar. Trump, petulance is thy name.

CANCER RESEARCH UNNECESSARILY CUT BY REPUBLICANS because very smart people disagree with the leader of the Republican Party, who has zero marketable skills.

Is currently not being well received by Walmart which was a tidy Mom and Pop back in the 60s. Imagine Wal By God Mart being given advice by the poster boy of business failure. Accept my tariffs, eat them, praise them. Or what? Pam Bondi (a total disgrace) will sue you for wanting to make a profit and put people to work in a capitalistic system? Or doing away with FEMA at the eve of hurricane season. Trump. Failure of a human being is the definition of you.

Which is yielding the same results. As for Bondi, the justice system is no longer independent, all her decisions are meant to support and help TFG, no matter how obviously prejudiced in his favor.
