Trump Skewers Deep State Agency, Looks to Save Billions

From the Newsroom: There Are Two Genders
President Trump just issued an Executive Order that threatens to pull federal funding to any hospital that cuts off the private parts of anyone under the age of 19.

Now that I’m a father, I can’t imagine the stress and anxiety she experienced knowing she could never, ever “Keep up With the Joneses” and have a boatload of gifts under the tree for her excited children.
