Come on. Mexico is not going to reimburse the United States for building this wall. What -- how are we going to force Mexico to reimburse the United States? This is an absurd conversation.

We don't have to accept more tax cuts for billionaires. We don't have to pay more of our hard-earned cash to Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg or the other billionaire oligarchs.
We’re not going to tolerate taking money from Medicaid, and food stamps, and nutrition, and possibly from Medicare as well, to give a big tax cut to the richest people in America when they’ve never been as rich.
Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht.
I think the biggest problem with having so many billionaires at the top of government is that billionaires don't exactly know how normal people live.
