He’ll last a lot longer as he has accomplished many of his supporters goals. He stopped “woke” and climate change talk which were causing prices to go up and people to not be able to afford a house. HE has elminated DEI which is just another nasty word for civil rights which his supporters have hated sonce 1965.He is also stopping all that science crap and the propaganda about vaccines which cause autism. He has reduced the IRS by 25% so his supporters don’t have to worry about paying those pesky taxes, besides the USA has plenty of money.He fired all the inspector generals of all government agencies so that lobbyists and contractors could get more business. He made money laundering and foreign bribery legal again in order to make it easier to do business. He went after lawyers who once said something bad bout him which makes it easier for him to do more great things for working Americans without worrying about lawyers. He pardoned 1500 people who did nothing wrong while breaking into the capital and assaulting police in order to steal an election. He also recently pardoned Ross Ulbricht who had a website called Silk Road which facilitated 200 million dollars of illegal drug sales because “The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who we were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me” He is going to extend the tax break of multimillionaires/billionaires because they need the money to buy groceries? Most important is he has installed people loyal to himself not the constitution so that much more can be done to make the working class folks’ lives better than ever. He is in the process of taking away money from universities and colleges because they do research and teach things he and his supporters either don’t like or understand He’s just getting started and those protestors you speak of were all communists, socialists and other people planted by George Soros. If these annoying people keep it up he’ll declare a National Emergency aka Martial Law and shut them right up. He is fully supported by his party in congress so more good times are coming for all the hard working families in the country. They have the patience and know that he learned from his six bankruptcies and criminal convictions how to do the things they want without that silly constitution crap getting in the way. ---

> [@powerabout](#): > > Sacking a few gov employees, Clinton sacked 377,000 There is a BIG difference in the way Clinton went about it. Hint: it didn’t involve an unelected ketamine fueled chainsaw operator in 100 days. Clintons plan took 6 months to review, congress was involved and it took 6 years to implement. ---
