A photo showing a Mar-a-Lago member making a crude joke about Trump 'buying' a girl from the financier also emerged.

So often, they did not care much about big-city crime rates, supported biological men’s usurpation of women’s sports, and opposed taking out the Iranian nuclear threat. However, recently, some former and, no doubt, current Trump opponents now seem...
