Paul. “Why did people vote for Donald Trump? Voters explain.” The Guardian, 2016. Doesn’t want the government to be keeping secrets from him. “Trump is a slimy scumbag, who wears it like a badge of honour.

Overtime in the U.S., we’ve had two major droughts that have put our country in jeopardy. These events are very relevant and important which are the Great Recession and the Great Depression.
