And what about our marines who will be forced to work there?
Barry - its Iran, you @#$%* idiot!
He and his kind are batpoo crazy.
Yes...figured so. I’m betting on him giving them the money to build it. The first US President to visit since communism infested it.
Also, from the press the USSS has gotten lately, I’m guessing their agents are eagerly awaiting the advance preparation trips there for it. I’ve heard there are beaucoup LotN there (Ladies of the Night).
