Why do business people think government should be run like a business? It’s not a business. It’s supposed to provide for the welfare of the people, not make money on the backs of the people…

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
