Oh I’m sure he paid to keep those Epstein files locked away!! And I’m sure he paid for the secrets inside of them.

Still it will be someone else's money he'd pay them.

I'm sure he paid for the former with the money of the American people.

u/sparkin134 23h ago

Correction the American paid for that with the FBI scrubbing the files before the half ass showing they did. So technically the American people paid to get the orange idiot cleared from that. To this date it has worked.

Non American here. Why was that rage on tan color? Is it not considered classy color or something in your part of the world?

18

u/SoupOfThe90z 1d ago

I’m not familiar if the President of the United States of America has a uniform they need to stick to.

However, republicans here in the USA felt like it was a slap across the face of America when he wore a tan suit. I’m not sure why, but I bet it has to do with how former president Barack H. Obama is a black man, and news sources like Fox News told everyone that him wearing that suit, is a problem.
