Unbefuckingdamnlievable.

To be factual change your OP. He isn't going "instead". The trip will take place later in the month.


Still not happy he's going to Moscow. Nothing to worry about though, I'm sure. 🤔🙄

Gonna steal our money first. Bigly. The very wealthy are basically their own country now, anyway. Their wealth is not tied to any single country. It's all in shell companies and shady off-shore accounts. The people who voted them in care more about white supremacy than the actual USA too, so we are pretty much screwed.
