Claim by conservativetears.com: ‘Magnum P.I.’ Star’s Final Words : ‘Help Trump To Help America’


Claim by Ilhan Omar: “In 2017, the CEO of McDonalds got paid $21.8 million. The median pay for a McDonald’s worker that year was $7,000. This is a moral outrage. We need a $15 minimum wage so that no one is paid a poverty wage.”
