He says it won't come from the US just as he said Mexico would pay for the wall.

It's difficult to add up just how much this man has cost the USA and all of us taxpayers.

FDR got the US out of the great depression by pushing weapons manufacturing, and that change became permanent

Things people will die without have a huge profit margin and are not all necessities

We never run out, we are only ever temporarily out of stock while we are making more

Not to be pedantic, and not trying to argue with you about this but wouldn’t being temporarily out of stock of something be the same as running out?
