Thank you for all your research!

People need to know this. There are so many voters latching onto one or two issues, or they think Trump is a snot, and they won’t vote for him. And they’re ignorant of everything else he’s done thanks to the MSM hiding his accomplishments.

Your list needs to be presented to all low information voters, as they will certainly have major influence on this election. Thanks again!

"President Trump signed a Right-To-Try bill into law allowing terminally ill patients to try experimental treatment that wasn’t allowed before."

Wonder if that includes those of us who want to use Hydroxychloroquine?
