"That would had been a very nice romantic date photo Boss! Minus the bodyguard in the background getting in your way.

Boss her net worth is like 30 million! Very impressive for politicians! She made a positive impression on Maye too! I notice when you were making your speech you were very shy very unlike you. And I think she might have a crush on you. But she might be after SpaceX too. I think she is a good and sincere woman. When the EU was against you, she did stood by you! I love this video!! So cute!" said another.

This comes a day after
