Hilarious. Thanks for your letter, Mr. Swanson, but if you allege our (yes, our) great President Trump is incompetent yet Trump was elected over Biden/Harris, what’s that say about Biden/Harris? More incompetent? Most incompetent? You have no choice but to deal with it because we made our choice for Trump. Have Trump-tastic days for the next 3+ years, maybe 7. BTW, I hear the US Mint may be releasing a special Trump coin for America’s 250th Anniversary. Something to look forward to in the near future.
And don’t forget all those incompetents those two incompetents have selected, - to make sure that no one would outshine themselves.
