In Memoir Excerpts, Clinton Details What Went Wrong In 2016 Campaign:
The book — which is titled “What Happened” and is rendered as a statement, not a question, on the cover — is set to be released September 12. The excerpts were obtained by MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” which aired the audio recording of Clinton reading the book herself.

The IRS taxes the top income bracket 39.6%. And the government will withhold 25% of that before the money ever gets to the winner. The rest has to be paid at tax time.
For Trump’s Wall, Mexico Is Out! Government Shutdown Is In!:
Mexico didn’t even come up when President Donald Trump vowed yet again to build the wall during a campaign rally (yes, it was an official Trump campaign re-election rally) in Phoenix on Tuesday night.

“And we are building a wall on the southern border, which is absolutely necessary,” he declared
