In my opinion, President Trump has completely mishandled a couple of important things in the past week. First, the impeachment effort by the Democrats. He has come out swinging when he should have remained quiet and allowed surrogates to carry the fight. The Democrats in the House are playing political games with this issue and… Continue reading Two Bad Decisions By President Trump
