No wonder the Democrats hate Trump so much, his administration is going to slow down their fraud so much, they’ll actually have to get real jobs which pay so much less. I guess I’d hate him too, if I were one of them.
We are going to have to start hanging thieves.
Of course his wife...didn know nuffin!
“Steal this. Then steal that. Can’t you see the fraud?”
LOL! You caught the reference. Great completion of the “verse”.
Here is an article questioning some of the husband’s doing from five years ago.

Just because my husband is a crook, that doesn’t affect my ability to do my job as Democrat Party Chair!
