Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?
