      It’s a cult. I overheard two Trumpers talking how the tariffs will only hurt for a little bit, but once everything religns, things will be great.

    You didn’t think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?

    Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?

    With far fewer irs agents, they can’t effectively audit tax cheats.

    Golf is expensive.

    He’s been sued 220 times for the 100 days he has been in office. Lawyers are really expensive. (Well unless you blackmail them.)

    Trickle down economics

    For the past 50 years they’ve tried to give the wealthy some money but no matter how much they gave the rich, only a little trickled down to the poor

    So they’ve decided to just turn on the money fire hose and shower the rich with all the money they can get their hands on … it’s a literal avalanche of money and hopefully this will trickle down and get some more money to the poor.

    For every million they send to a rich person, ten bucks goes to a street person … so we need to spend billions, trillions of dollars on these rich people in order to get enough money to people in need.

      But because of the belligerent attitude other countries stopped buying US debt, at a time where debt is exploding and up for renewable. Something is going to break.

      And the only real stipulations is the oppression of your workers and bending the knee to those more money than you.
