"And, amazingly, I looked out, and he was nothing. He was nothing. He was a phantom. It was the people around him who were giving him power. He himself was nothing. It was an astonishing discovery for me. He's nothing. We don't need to be afraid of him. He can be knocked down twice by this woman right here."

If Trump were President, he and MAGA and Fox, would be declaring this the greatest economy of all time.
Ok Nation, Let’s Talk: The “Great Recession” never came. Inflation is down, consumer spending is up. Unemployment continues to drop, the markets keep going up. If Trump were President, he and MAGA and Fox, would be declaring this the greatest economy of all time.
