He’s such a slimeball.
A perfect partner to Elon Musk. Birds of a feather…
A lot of words to say he is a con artist
This is going to be something – some kind of kakistocracy/kleptocracy/oligarchy mashup none of us alive have ever seen.
Half of us voted for mass deportation, but when law enforcement agencies are already understaffed and we’re at full employment, where will the tens of thousands of new ICE agents come from? To say nothing of the physical requirements that will have to spool up to deport ten times the number of individuals as were deported over his first term as he’s promised.
Drill, baby, drill? Here is the CEO of Exxon, thinking about maximized profits and share price: “I don’t know that there’s an opportunity to unleash a lot of production in the near term,” Most companies are already “optimizing their production.” “I don’t think today that production in the U.S. is constrained.”
“I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” Trump said in the ABC News Presidential Debate. “I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it purposely. I’m not going to read it.” Of course not – because he doesn’t read – but half his cabinet are its authors.
A presidency with a “First Buddy”? A 3,000,000 person, 1$T budget defense department headed up by a Fox weekend anchor whose sole leadership experience was leading a 50 person platoon (thank you for your service, Pete)? Our nation’s spy infrastructure led by a Putin and al-Assad apologist who switched parties 5 minutes ago? Our nation’s health infrastructure headed up by another kook party switcher whose brain was partially eaten by a worm and is disavowed by his family?
It is classic Trump – submission is the one true objective – and causing the almost half of us who voted for this nihilistic approach to governance submit to nodding along like bobbleheads in approval to things they could never have imagined supporting 10 years ago is really quite a feat.
And yet none of them can articulate why they vote for him, after giving him four years in office and failing comprehensively to do anything for them. It’s amazing.
Joe, they voted for him because they could not bring themselves to vote for a black woman when there was a “tell it like it is” bro who was vulgar, who was a liar, and who was as uninformed as they were.
Great post, and it’s all out in the open and obvious.
By the way, where is that Healthcare plan or even the “concept of a health plan”?
There never was a plan for healthcare other than to take it away. Healthcare isn’t a human right, it’s a privilege for those who can afford it. It’s a very pro-life position, apparently.
The long-term plan is to roll back anything the government has ever done since Hoover was in office. Financial regulations, social security, Medicaid … roll it all back, because that enables the tax cuts that the rich propping up politicians are paying for. Make America like any number of countries where the middle class is obliterated and the wealth and power is held by a very few. Social issues are the cudgels they’re using to do that.
The “concept of a health care plan” is in the same file drawer as Trump 1.0’s “infrastructure week” plan.
Yeah, they’re all blatant self-dealing grifters. We all knew that. That’s what you voted for. Buckle up, it’s going to be a long 4 years and the clock hasn’t even started yet.
I learned during Trump 1.0, to ignore most of what he says and then see what actually sticks. It might take three months or even a year, but congress, the senate, or eventually the courts strike down about 80% of what was announced. Not, that a lot of damage happens in the mean time, but who cares if kids are separated from parents and never re-united.
All of you must be big-government advocates. It’s not about Elephants vs. Donkeys. The elites want to absolutely control ALL of us. Wake up to the threats posed by the policy wonks at World Economic Forum and the United Nations. I do agree that Ramaswamy is not to be trusted, but I believe Pete Hegseth is solid. We do need folks who are untainted by the elites IF we are to make any progress against the oversized Federal bureacracy. REIN the beast in.
