I heard him saying that when he first became “the prez” world poverty was at 40%, and it is now 10%. It was my first belly laugh of the day.
Buhlow me Barry.
I missed this speech...
And my day was a whole lot less stressful...
Rails against “nationalism” and “walls”.
I believe he is the President of our nation.
Walls.....go to any islamic majority country anywhere around the globe and you see walls...that is about all you can see. Walls to keep neighboring thieves out and keep the females in.
