Did we figure it out yet America? Did we finally figure out that Left vs.Right is total b.s. made up by the 1% to fleece the taxpayers while they sell us lies? Think about it… while Trump distracts us with ICE, he’s made 1.4 Billion while in office. And thats’s just what the NYT can account 4.

Reporter: 1.4 billion, really closer to 1.5. I studied Donald Trump's finances, and this amount the Trump family made last year is greater than the sum total of everything he ever made in his whole life.
