I often tell people not to call me self-made I prefer to call myself American-made. We need to think beyond our selfish interests. The Constitution aimed to “promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.” It’s right there in our founding document. I am not an academic, but I can tell you that selfishness and dereliction of duty did not make this country great.

Some people are complaining, “Well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.” Well, I told them, “Screw your freedom.” You have the freedom to wear no mask.
