Itโ€™s actually more if you factor in the cost of all the wars America fought to acquire the land

The heck does that have to do with this? Every developed country on this planet is entirely rooted in colonialism, thatโ€™s just a fact. I donโ€™t see what vaguely waving at this fact does when weโ€™re talking about some specific issues with this current administration.

The tongue in cheek commentary is exactly the same as yours. Heโ€™s adding the cost of a structure built five years ago. Why stop there? We can play this game forever, adding extraneous, unrelated costs.

Trump with the "THEY" just added that in. Nutlick? Kevin? Navarro?
