Every American security agency has acknowledged that the Trump campaign team encouraged and accepted Russian interference to tip the scales in the last election.

Quite aside from tampering with the election, Trump is oblivious to the fact that millions of American veterans and seniors may not receive much-needed medications in time because of the slow down; just another example of how Trump only cares about Trump.
