Americans also saw THE LYIN' KING's hands-off approach to the Shutdown, coupled with his Gatsby party, ballroom expansion, challenging court orders to restore SNAP, and attempts to side-step the economic downturn, as an individual who doesn't care for average Americans. For those paying attention and those experiencing hardships or potential hardships, I believe many in the MAGA group's eyes were opened.
