He wants more oil because he thinks it will make him and his friends rich. applegrove Jan 10 #1

You're certainly right about that, he only ran for campaign donations after every business he tried failed Rhiannon12866 Jan 10 #2

And he was in the pocket of Putin. I'm sure they encouraged him to run. applegrove Jan 10 #3

The felon also said he wants Greenland to keep Russia and China from it, why give them ideas? Rhiannon12866 Jan 10 #4

So true Rhiannon. So true. One day Russia is the enemy. applegrove Jan 10 #5
