I'm sure the 64-yr old couple in his home state earning slightly more than 400% FPL whose premiums are about to jump from $638/month to over $3,000/month will appreciate being told that they've been getting "Biden Covid Bonuses" the past few years.

You know the West is in trouble when the US President cares more about Netflix taking over Warner Bros than Russia taking over a European country.
Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?
TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision
