RahulNair77 But nobody can beat Biden. Biden got the Chinese to give his son a billion and a half for nothing?

RahulNair77 That’s all?

Good thing we backed the coup to bring him to power.... This country is worthless.

How about allegations of $3 million given to the former Mexican President? Is that under investigation?

Shocking 🙄
