"Government cannot do child care"--Trump<--During my years in Paris, I lived next to a government child care. It's a national system that helps France to the highest birth rate in Europe.

"Independent voters in particular have become unhappier with Mr. Trump. Sixty-nine percent disapproved of his job performance, up from 62 percent in a January Times/Siena poll. Forty-seven percent of independents said his policies had hurt them, up from 41 percent in fall 2025."<--Independents in the USA are covert, dishonest, 2-faced Republican voters.
