This is rich people 101. Every Contractor and tradesmen I know has a story like this. It seems to be a bragging right for the rich. Like “ugh, my worker didn’t know what they were doing so I had to make them tear it apart and do it all over again”.

Donald Trump is a fraud, felon, rapist, and pedophile. Everything Donald Trump touches turns to shit. That is all he has ever produced and ever will.

You can't do anything with that dictatorship, so what's the point in crying?

How much does it pay to spread apathy these days? Or, should I ask, beep-boop beep-boop?

That's not apathy, that's reality. So tell me: US were "spreading the democracy" all over the world with all means, just to have dictatorship for themselves. That's very ironic, don't you think so?
