2. Public backlash

Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation.

Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details.

That would fuck up all their shit, man.
