Knowing what a good businessman and negotiator Donald is, it's probably each. But Holy Crap! We've got people living under bridges. Families going hungry. Gas & diesel prices through the roof. Prices on groceries higher & higher not to mention "shrinkage". Add in a war he started and he has time to cover perfectly fine bronze statues in gold?
