Cmon I know you all have bought groceries in the past year. Prices are not, 'way, way down'. That is a falsehood. Admit it, food is not cheaper, supplies are not cheaper. #Tariffs have increased costs, a foreign shipper doesn't pay them. You were had, he lied. #TrumpLies

LOL @ this. It happens A LOT in the Philippines. A friend of mine lives there, it is typical for a road/bridge/other infrastructure the project to start again as soon as they are done, due to the money being defrauded out of the building into the pockets of the contractor. www.ft.com/content/0399...

Hmmm, isn't this more or less what Allen Weisselberg went to prison for? I feel like the one making the accusation is normally the one who's guilty of the crime. Also, allegedly before she was at the Fed, has no standing imo.
