  1. Your votes working yet, Trumpers?

    This is the kind of nonsense that gets pushed in banana republics. Then again, Trump has a long history of cooking the books in his private business, so maybe he figures it’s the best thing to do with the government now that he’s introducing a Trumpcession on the economy.

    You were warned that everything Trump touches dies. Don’t worry, I’m sure it will all be someone else’s fault. It can never be the fault of Dear Leader. He really cares about you! Don’t believe what your eyes tell you. He never lies!

  2. This is even sillier than the accounting gimmick they want to pull off to hide the true cost of the proposed tax cuts over the next decade.
