Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Nor does he care, he only ran to stay out of prison.

And you don't know propaganda, nor do you care about being hoodwinked, so long as you're angry.

Trump administration delayed a rule last year that could have sped up the effort to pinpoint the source of the contamination.

@#7 ... So you're gonna argue trump is competent? ...

That, in and of itself is a losing argument, even for the current trolling alias you replied to.

Instead, that alias seems to post numerous messages for the apparent purpose to chasten the members of this august forum

Perhaps it seeks to gain some manner of credibility in doing so. I wish I knew.

Nonetheless, it merely seems to degrade itself more and more with each of its posts.
