20. This is going to piss alot of people off...

Mon Oct 28, 2024, 03:45 AM

Oct 28

and people are going to be talking about it. I have a good friend here in Texas (she moved here from NY after 911) who is Puertorican and she still keeps in contact with friends and relatives in New York and Puerto Rico. She despises Trump and has said that she knows many who feel the same way.

This is going to backfire on Trump big time.
