[Ads-l] heebie-jabbie

[Dan Goncharoff]

Here is the quote:

“Why aren’t we putting our military retirees on that border or in TSA?” she
said. “Get rid of all these heebie jabbies they wear at TSA. I’ve seen them
myself, ”

“We are looking at that. We are looking at that,” Trump responded. “We’re
looking at a lot of things.”

So what was he looking into, using military retirees, or heebie-jabbies?
