he flew up here for that?

Didn't he have fundraisers, too? Is everybody missing that he shopped at a store that sells a lot of Chinese crap, and almost nothing made in the USA?

A chain store in Manhattan was paying people less than $10 an hour? Not likely, unless they want the literally unwashed homeless stocking the aisles.

Gotta get out there for da outfits for golfing with season coming soon. Guess the dumb ass forgot about all the other LITTLE things in the world like Russia invading some little country, or a lost airplane nobody can find, or other of the “really important” stuff.
