According to a Knox New Sentinel article,
U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (TN) "met with Trump and Vice President JD Vance at the White House the day before the vote." He said the meeting was "very productive."
"The president was wonderful as always, informative, funny, told me he likes seeing me on TV, which is kind of cool," he (Burchett) said in a video.
Then after the vote he plays grab ass with another Congressman!!!
OMG. The majority of those who voted in his district elected him??? What was that, 20% of registered voters? How can this be??? He has no sense of the people or government or economics.
