Apparently they’re planning on charging Trump as an adult. 💀

I’m a little concerned that The Wife™ is going to be more enthusiastic about the helium-filled balloons than the actual gifts I chose for her birthday. 😬

@gpowerf I’ve only ever broken one tv, and that was because a window blew in in a gale and fell onto the tv after “bouncing” off my head. 🤕
