Glad to see human emotions from a president. Sad for the reason we're seeing it.

What dose this have to do with business? Asking for a friend.

HE PROBABLY VOTED WITH THE REST OF THE DECEASED VOTERS ON THE DECEASED VOTER ROLLS. LMFAO.

Please, give me a break. He’s crying because he is confused and in need of a nap. He is going to be the WEAKEST leader this country ever had. I hope I’m wrong, but I know that I’m not.

I love a President who shows his human side and isn't afraid to be vulnerable. This is mark of a great leader. Looking forward to the Biden Harris administration. Good riddance to the trump pence administration which oozes incompetence as soon as one speaks.
