    None of us could afford to, but DAMN is it cheap to buy Diaper Don (relatively speaking). The tariff revenue that Americans would generate on Swiss imports FAR exceeds the value of a watch and a bar of gold.

      Because he doesn’t give a flying hoot about the American people. Or to be honest really his party. This is all just a grift for him.
