should be a lifelong career or an assisted living facility.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Over the weekend, President Trump, taking to truth social rating
Marjorie Trader Brown, because of plumbing poll numbers and not
wanting to face a primary challenger with a strong Trump endorsement,

phone calls. Marjorie went bad now. Later in the weekend,
