Then, #NotHerPresident Trump shows her who her Daddy is.
“404 page not found.” Tried to access from my phone.
Maybe Trump could have the FDA issue a temporary ban on botox.
That would get under Pelosi’s skin.
He messed up. He should have let her go then say she can’t come back.
HARDBALL, Nancy, now we’re playing HARDBALL.
Bwahahahaaa…
