Peter Navaro on #FoxNews - "wages are up 8% under Trump". Peter Navaro - "wages were down 4% under Biden" #PeterNavaro- "everything Biden did was inflationary" #Peter #Navaro "trust us". What a fucking waffler. Wages drive inflation as much as tarriffs.

Been having this problem myself for years. Fair play to Eric Trump - we need more defenders of billionaires in this world.
Eric Trump: "You're sitting there saying, 'Why can't I send hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin overseas instantly or receive it instantly with virtually no fees?' Bitcoin is the way of the future."

Why is that, apart from Obama, lower ranking #politicians from both #Democrat and #Republican come across far more intelligent, articulate and capable than the ones who eventually end up in highest office? #SpencerCox What is it America that brings the silt to the top? Don't answer- it's money.
