Trump needs to do something about gas prices before November elections.

Expect him to capitulate.

No worries! He is now eligible to apply for the upcoming Democrat Anti Trumpy Weaponization Weaponization Slush Fund. This fund will be created by the next democratic president to compensate Americans that were harmed by Trumpy's self declared Revenge and Retribution Tour. I'd say $10-20 million dollars would be the about appropriate settlement amount for this guy.

At least a million should go to every federal worker fired or forced to retire without cause.

It's gonna be a big fund. Maybe a $100 billion dollar Democratic Slush Fund will cover some of the damages. It has to be a big fund because Trumpy has ruined a lot of American lives.

Looking forward to it as I expect to get about a million myself just for the stress of watching Trumpy dismantle American democracy. A democracy I helped build, maintain and protect.
