New Documentaries on the Latest Scams

How the White House Dog Race Is Heating Up (With Video Link)
I’ve been intrigued by the different leadership styles of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, since I wrote a book about leadership styles based on different personality types.

Both can be effective leaders, but they attract different types of followers.
