Minister of Defense Pete HegSeth has four children of his two marriages, Elon Musk has 14 children from different women, Donald Trump himself is the father of five children and the list continues.
And it was obvious when President Donald Trump promised to be “fertilizer president” and alleged dislike of vice president JD Vance for “childless cats”, who set fire to the line.

Funding education on menstrual cycle of women is also considered to help women understand when they ovulate and when they will be able to conceive.
But it’s not for everyone. The bonus only goes to couples that are married.
