Q

What about those classified documents Trump had at Mar-a-lago?

Bro, he’s not the first president to have classified documents outside the White House. Biden had some in his garage, remember? If it’s bad for one, it’s bad for all—let’s be fair about it.

Q

Why isn’t discrimination the result of Trump’s executive order regarding the 1964 law?
