Sunday

W was an idiot... ever since his first public statement he made on his Texas farm when the reporters were asking of the Supreme Court win announcing his win of Gore and a tacky reporter asking about a bandaid on his forehead; his reply, "its a zit". Of all the political lies a political will or can make, this one should of been a lie to the public... lol, could of said a scratch from brush.
But, what W has over Trump is honestly and takes advice from that knows their stuff.

Either way, i withdrew my stocks that day of the zit and put into Treasury bonds...
