Is this the same president that shouts about how “family oriented” Hungary is, while the schools are going down and teachers make less than waiters, while watching the children for more hours than the parents.
Is this the same president that shouts about building hospitals in Ukraine while our medical system does down the toilet?
Is this the same president that pays you to have a child, but does not offer a good chance at an education or for medical care to even have the child?
OH, it is that president. I think I’ll pass on that speech!
