i find it hard to believe that you know republicans who call themselves
maga republicans.

inflation is so bad and everything is so expensive.  nobody is doing better since trump.  that's a lie.

they're doing the siding on the house i'm renting.  my landlord showed me how much only a handful of cedar material costs.  it's nuts.  building materials are through the roof.  he spent over 50k on doing the roof and siding. That's way too much for this house.

i've said this before, but i think maybe we need 3 presidents.  one of each branch.  trump is good at handling business and diplomacy. We should have an expert head the legislative branch and one for judicial.

We need to gut our system and create term limits as well.
