Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned following a failed tax-cutting budget that rocked financial markets and which led to a revolt within her own Conservative Party. Well, she didn’t last long haha When people truly open their eyes to conservatism, then none of them should! Guess they didn&#39;t Truss her Seems minor compared to what Biden has done.
