When Trump was in office there was a dollar menu everywhere and gas was $2.00 and now it’s $18 for a Big Mac meal and $7.00 a gallon for gas and Trump had NO wars and closed borders!

[urbugnmetoday]

And that’s not counting the paybacks to Ukraine

[kimcoon]

It's expensive to run a nursing home in the White House.

[FlameBlue]

That’s a a lot of Nurses. And Daycare staff.

[chrisward]
