Good Trump.
Hands on and very good @realDonaldTrump

The only disappointment is that this may cut into my high-performance pneumatic guillotine sales a little bit.
Though, there is plenty of time between now and November for the Democrats to drive consumer need.
You had me at “pneumatic guillotine.”
?
As usual, Trump got it wrong.
Harvard didn’t take federal money meant for small businesses. The $9 million they got came from the Dept. of Education to support higher education institutions during the pandemic.
But, of course, it gives the haters another opportunity to shake their fists at the sky and curse 50% of Americans and “their institutions.”

The point still remains. Harvard is sitting on a $45B endowment (if I have that number correct), and they are dipping into a fund meant for colleges and universities that are struggling to keep staff on, and buildings/grounds maintained.
Trump is correct in that the billionaires should not be showing up, hat in hand, displacing those in real need.
Yep.
Not to mention that our taxes should not be spent on organizations that actively practice racism.
The facts of your post remain wrong, J.Kb.
But…OK. Great. Sounds good to me.
Now do oil companies, mega corporations and billionaires who get huge tax cuts/incentives from Congress…every single year.
Principled positions apply to everyone, right? If you only apply them to one side of the aisle, they’re not principled. They’re biased, inconsistent and driven by a purely partisan narrative.
