That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?
It's the purest distillation of MAGA: fusing bigotry with uncontrollable greed.
Multiple reports estimate that his dismantling of the foreign aid agency directly contributed to thousands of deaths around the world.
And that’s just one piece of damage DOGE left behind. Watch.

One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board.
Funny how that works.
His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination.
He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5.
He entered politics with the racist birther lie.
