What offends me about this

is when I hear uneducated folks from this administration talk about how DEI is bad … Trump has literally been gifted more opportunity than any human being I know. His old man gave him the equivalent of $400 million and he’s still bankrupted a mindboggling number of ventures. Add on to that the Trump family wealth was greatly boosted by govt programs, much like Musk’s companies has been gifted a stunning amount of tax breaks/credits.

These guys are atrociously undeserving and there are good, hard working, intelligent and HONEST people in this country who deserve these opportunities way more than these liars and con artists.
