Nov 5

Wasn't Agent Orange bragging about the TRILLIONS of dollars the tariffs have brought in, as in 15, then 17, then 19 and 20 Trillion dollars making the country rich, rich, rich.

So-o-o-o rich yet we don't have the money to pay SNAP recipients or extend health care subsidies or anything that actually helps the American public.

So where is all that money??? In Donald Trump's mind/ass or somewhere else? Over-spilling the bank accounts of billionaires or simply the figment of an old man's imagination (lies)?

Inquiring minds and all that.
