Putting Trumps name on things automatically guarantees it will fail.

Usually when something carries the Trump name, it comes from Donald Trump paying tribute to himself. Over the years, that has been a long list of both active and defunct companies and products.

I love Playing For Change videos. There's a whole whack of interesting musicians, and children, in the one. Including Forest Whitaker (who I'm a fan of). His smile has always gone right up to his eyes.

I'm the same.

Unfortunately religion has been one of the top reasons war happens. I generally like popes, I even have a fave. But history (and theology) proves human-made religion is bad for our planet and ppl. This has been going on since the gods were manufactured. ✌️

Repurpose funds? What does that mean? Have they used the payroll to roll on another grifty move? Sure sounds like it.
