Interesting. Sadly, you could easily convince some Americans that this is an actual map.
Can't wait to see the movie sets they build depicting things like the Amazon, the Himalayas or the Sahara.
As it turns out, the Emoluments Clause means nothing if people are afraid to enforce it.
The swamp is deep... and murky...and getting richer every day.

Wow
If we made the things in the US that we currently buy from China, nobody would be buying them because nobody wants to pay 'Made in the USA' prices for things they have been getting cheaply for years. It would be like charging nice restaurant prices for McDonalds.
I don't recognize anyone on that list

Nope. Tax dollars are paying for that...and he doesn't pay taxes.
