        Is it really 12% that's functional? Seems a bit high.

        Can we just shut down the top position? The one that’s supposed to unite everyone without pointing fingers and assigning blame? Can we do that? Or do we need something like what happened in “Designated Survivor” to happen to reset? Uuuggghhh...

        Trump needs to DO HIS JOB! If he can't make an important decision he needs to LEAVE. Allow someone who cares about the American people to lead our great country! #NoMoreExcuses !!!!
