Record high stock market close???

Doesn’t that make #PresidentBiden the BEST president in history by the former occupant of the White House’s standards?

Really wish I could have been the one to deliver that news to him. #DemVoice1 pic.twitter.com/42hIEzwt5s

I’m dumbfounded by how it took only a few hours of Americana TV, a POEM and a crew of competent adults moving into the White House to fully restore my love and pride in my country.

Yes, my heartstrings have been manipulated today, and I’m grateful for it.
