HE LITERALLY OWNS AND LIVES AT A COUNTRY CLUB

The claim that Trump “ushered in economic populism” & “downgraded the importance of country-club Republicans while prioritizing blue collar workers,” not only reads like an RNC press release, but is belied by Trump’s record (tax cuts for the rich, an anti-labor NLRB, support for wage theft, etc.)/3

what the fuck

that woman’s singular incompetence created an entire decade of “trump represents real America” rather than “two of our worst people ran for president and everyone hated them both”
