This time he had 3000 (maybe it was 300?) people lined up 6 months before the election that he was going to put in various positions. The main requirement was people that he could trust.
Sort of like that other individual who flipped the tables of the money-changers a little bit ago.
It would make a nice AI image.
And to be living through PJDT's 2nd term and 2 terms of JDVance
I think reduced government done correctly is the way to go. This debt situation has somehow got to be straightened out. The last thing we should want would be financial default.
