sramosABC . China is ruining our world!!!!!!!!!!! How is China doing business during a pandemic? How many people know that the EU is funding Wuhan (virology institute !!!!!!!!!!!)

sramosABC BOBULINSKI being interviewed on Tucker Carlson fox news right now!!! Bidens going DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sramosABC They respond to Trump and Pence's many lies about the pandemic. It will get worse if the two stay in office for another 4 years. Please vote for Joe and Kamala 2020 to make America great again.

It wouldn't be surprising for Trump if reelected to create a tax paid straight to his bank account before minorities are allowed to open shop. They'll have to show loyalty to him through their pocketbook.

What did Trump have said about Latinos? What? Really? Why the wall?

I hope she voted Trump. Biden is not a strong economic mind.

good luck

what a horrible mistake. Biden isn't the president for the economy or even this country He would sell us out, regulate jobs away from the country again. Your PPP loan wasn't proctored by the president.

Trump called Latinos murderers. rapists and animals. He locked Latino children in cages. Any Latino who votes for Trump is a fool.

Trump calls them low IQ

Im hispanic for jobs, law and order, works here not in China.
