Notice how no one is even remotely stopping this disaster.

Trump’s loser offspring bribed houseless people in Greenland for a pro-Trump photo op. Trump jr is also carrying out operation to bribe people in Canada’s north where he regularly vacations.

This is what Fox News chooses to speak about. Nitpicking at diversity & LGBTQ+ line items in the budget? Where the HELL is the information about how to help these people majorly impacted by the LA fires? Where’s the resources? Where are the emergency numbers? Any updated info? Absolutely sickening.🤬
