#FYI
#SteveWitkoff just delivered one of the most eye-watering moments from the Oval Office.

As President Trump signed an executive order to battle drug addiction, Witkoff shared the emotional story of what Trump did for him after his son Andrew passed away from addiction.

It was clear how much this all meant to him.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.
