But he wants the Oval Office to be 72 in the winter and 68 in the summer (instead of the other way around, like the rest of us) - after lecturing us during the campaign that it’s bad for the environment if we are comfortable in our own homes. He should take his own medicine.
So is Texas but the rule is still 76 in government run offices.
Good point. I guess in the private quarters he can get it a bit cooler but he still should not go below 72 since he wants the rest of us to swelter for the sake of the environment.
Less than thee months and I am already sick of everything that a** in the Oval Office says or does.
