If you needed more evidence this is an influencer administration here’s the FBI director posting a dramatic promo video of him hopping out of private jets and signing autographs to honor his own role in the World Cup
This is astounding. The White House cast this speech as earth-shattering and the morning after Trump's favorite cable news show doesn't mention it once.
