The Hot American community has historically been underrepresented in the US presidency. But with recent gains in political power, such as the New York City Mayor’s office, it could be time for the Hot Americans to shine.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
