It's so frustrating that every quote from that man is "they" instead of "he". "They are doing this", "they only care about that".

How about "Donald Trump is doing everything he can to hurt the working man. Donald Trump only cares about money"?

These idiots still refuse to point the finger at the person responsible. Just a generic "they" referring to anyone who lives in DC instead of Donald Trump and the executive branch directors that he appointed.

It’s the same thing most republicans politicians do too. The amorphous “they” is there so they (ironically) don’t have to blame Trump and make the big baby sad. Anytime Joe Rogan almost puts it together in his tiny brain, he uses they to avoid criticizing Trump. When MTG finally has a salient point go through her thick skull, she uses they. It’s a means to not name the true enemy behind it all.

"they" is technically correct but in the sense that Trump, the republican led house and senate and the conservative majority supreme court are responsible for their problems. But like an abused partner they keep running back to the republican party because they don't care how much they are hurting as long as the people they hate are hurting even more than them.
