Is that what he wants for his children or their descendants? Remind him that nobody else in this country wants that either, and it’s not going to happen. This policy is not “for our country” it is for his vanity and enrichment, along with the aspiring trillionaire class.

Ask him why it is that the Oval Office is being foiled in gold while he slurs his way through telling us our little girls need to learn to get by with less.
