Well, since most of his cabinet is composed of "free trade" Clintonites that off shored our jobs, is this really surprising?

Every election I pray that America somehow wakes up and quits voting the same thieves back into office.

Every day after I wake up and realize the public education system has created exactly the America the corrupt politicians want.

baaaaaaaa
