“Thanks to the president for everything, by my side,” he continued. “I have to say that there are a lot of fake media outlets, and there are some good ones behind them, there are also some bad ones, let’s be honest, but they wanted to write the story that this campaign was going to be Donald Trump’s America. ” first death on the agenda.’
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the death of America’s first agenda,” added Vance.
