Make America Europe’s Sucker Again.
Wow, some Socialist European governments prefer a Socialist White House? Who woulda ever imagined such a thing?
Thats code for: we get your money again.
Make the administration “grate” again?
Are we going to be bailing out their socialism too?
Germany and France are sad about Trump stopping the graft machine. Plus they are sad that they are stuck with all of the rapefugees
Obamanation, Part Deux.
‘Yup...It’s all about the USA money tree.’
Instead of “Uncle Sam”, it’s called “Uncle Sucker”.
We don’t want the ties. They are useless to us.
Why did my hand just immediately go to my wallet?
As if the USA needs approval of a pack of cringing socialists.
