Commenter “Big Maq” asks a question: If it were obama or clinton who made such claims [that he had passed more bills in his first seven months than most presidents had in that time] in the same circumstances, would we … Continue reading →
Today commenter “Bill” asked some questions: Trump just tweeted this out, just now “Few, if any, Administrations have done more in just 7 months than the Trump A. Bills passed, regulations killed, border, military, ISIS, SC!” ”“ 25 Aug 2017 … Continue reading →
