"Every effort to explain what the various terms like "the big guy" mean, you have purely and simply historians will conclude, the most corrupt president in American history. You have basically a crime family, and you have them dealing with foreign governments in Ukraine. The mayor of Moscow's widow who sent $3 million. Russian influences, massive Chinese influences.
