        I’m just confused beyond belief why people give him credence. His refusal to acknowledge COVID as more than a hoax, and his policies on free trade have dive bombed local, and world economies.

      • That’s definitely not true. Activist conservative judges have been ignoring the letter of the law for a long time now.
