Day 261:

Trumps bad week

Trump has been having a bad week for about a year now. Mostly because he is an evil incompetent nincompoop who shouldn’t have ever been let anywhere near the white house.

Most likely there is a republican or corporate democrat you could be voting out of office some place near you, go to your local board of elections website and find out!
