The White House even released a stone hilarious list of 365 wins," one for every day of the first year of the Golden Age."
"In a room often marked by rapid-fire give and take with reporters, Trump spoke uninterrupted for about 80 minutes. His tone was largely flat as he moved from topic to topic, offering little effort to narrow his focus or explain the implications of his remarks.I like the Hell's Angels. They voted for me.
