Albanese is a manager, not a leader, and it's inflicting real damage on the country
Anthony Albanese is all about political management, not genuine leadership. And his instinct merely to manage and not lead is inflicting serious harm on our social fabric.

The annual change in GDP topped 15% in only five years since 1929 -- four times under FDR and once under Truman.
Conservatives at the time, and since, denounced those presidents for practicing "socialism," which Trump claims is the top problem constricting the economy today.

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.
