Yet another reminder that The Great Orange Bigot and His Buddies DGAF about the "common person", (ie their own voters). They keep doing shit like this and their voters are apparently such rabid no-brain grugs that they keep voting for the shit. I'm not talking about his rich voters - they're in the same boat as him: zero fucks given. I'm talking about the everyman and everywoman and everywhateveryouwanttobe who actually has to buy groceries from the store, not talk about them like some mythical construct.
