Oligarchs did not run to President Biden because he is for the people.

And in the Oval Office, the next four years will have none of that.

THE SPEECH IS A MUST WATCH.

He covered the coming oligarchy, why it’s TERRIBLE and what we HAVE TO DO to fight it.

He also talked about the disinformation we are being buried in for the purpose of money and power.

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT.

I’m sad our country will no longer be a democracy starting 1/20/25. And I’m glad President Biden mentioned about billionaires trying to take over country and create an oligarchy. The 🍑💩🤡 is selling out our country to the highest bidder. And is going to make money from selling our countries intelligence and secrets. And how long until Putin makes his state visit?

And the 🍑💩🤡 will have no guardrails.

I weep for our country 😭🥺😢😔😞😕🙁😥😪😪😓😟
