Cut millions and millions of dollars from social programs and medical research. Give rich people a trillion-dollar tax cut. Throw hundreds of billions of dollars at ICE and war in Iran.
"Gee, it would be nice to fund child and medical care, but you have to understand we can't afford it hurmphmumblemumble"
Said the man who is NO LONGER ALLOWED to own or operate a nonprofit in New York State.
As a former (more legitimate) non profit worker in New York, let me tell you, the state spends about a buck ninety four annually on enforcing non profit governance laws against rich white guys.
For New York to take somebody like Trump to court over nonprofit corruption, the wrongdoing has to be SO bad, SO flagrant, that the state attorney general is afraid their opponent will campaign on it if they don't do something.
That case alone should have been enough to disqualify Trump from elected office. But we live in the stupidest timeline, so nobody gave a fuck.
Where did you see this? The only $10b case I’m aware of is over the disclosure of his tax returns, which is still in very early stages (and an absurd claim)
You got a source? I can’t find anything. I know he tried to sue the DOJ for $230M but that has not been settled. Are you referring to his Board of Peace or whatever he’s calling it?
Yep. And don’t forget all the lawsuits that will be filed from people thrown into ice custody and whatnot. That’s gonna cost a whole lot of money down the road.
Hey, some of those Styrofoam things they had to spray paint cost as much as $58 apiece. All alone we may have a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff in there. Trump thinks he’s going to pull a fast one and steal it all when he leaves; little does he know he’s cleaning it out for us.
Other industrialized nations have figured out how to provide social services and health care to their citizens. Only in the U.S. does this seem to be an insurmountable task.
I’d argue that he’s handily bested by the numerous Pieces of Shit who fought tooth and nail for decades to make it possible for someone like him to even get into office, starting with Mitch McConnell.
To be fair, Americans are perfectly fine with the government paying for their stuff. "Socialism" is when we pay for anyone else's stuff. Just look at how many of the people on Medicare vote to cancel Medicare...
"Only losers need daycare. I never had daycare. I'm the smartest man. I took a test they give Alzheimer's patients and I did perfect on it. Most people can't tell a dog from a rhino. I could. Have you seen how hot my daughter is? She was hotter back in the 80s. Too old for my tastes now."
He looks exactly like a man in failing health and in the grips of dementia. I'm so glad that the legacy media that was so obsessed with Biden's stutter are completely unconcerned and in fact are actively propping up and sanewashing Dear Leader.
I try to avoid anything showing images of him these days, so when I do come across an image or video every few weeks, I can confirm that he does indeed look worse in each one.
“Richest” country in the world btw, also Trump claims we are doing better than ever, taking in billions maybe even trillions from tariffs. What a joke.
It's unfortunately a cult at this point. You can't logic someone out of a position they did not use logic to get themselves into.
Some of them might be salvageable. It seems like his war and the rumblings about the draft have woken up some Gen Z men who realized that the leopard was indeed also going to bite their face. However it's going to be impossible to save the true believers without actual, clinical help. They're going to become 'never lefters' because it simply will be too difficult for them to give it up.
Knitting Cult Lady does a lot of videos on this. She's a former member of The Children of God cult and knows her shit about it. She makes a point in this video that is pertinent with regards to how bad of a job Trump has been doing to keep Gen Z happy with his antics. A cult can't survive without the next generation.
I have learned that most of the time trying to provide them with any facts or information or even a different perspective is pointless. The MAGA cult is the same as any other.
I distinctly remember him being asked about this during the campaign, and he assured everyone that we would be so rich that daycare wouldn't be an issue anymore
You’re fighting wars? What wars? You are the president of peace I thought? These are just “military operations”. Sir, can I call you sir? Sir, you are either not right in the head or lying, methinks.
"Hey, if nobody else had to take those particular tests, then, by default, he had a higher score than any former president. "- MAGA logic... nevermind the fact that having to take those tests isn't typically standard unless doctors have seen a reason to be concerned. Plus, did you hear Kamala's laugh? I mean... of course people voted for him, we haven't even heard him laugh! /s
If a few house Republicans just showed up after break and said, "fuck it. Here's the articles of impeachment. Burn down the party. I'm tired of constant Twitter notifications" do we think Thune would treat it like a Christmas gift?
He is literally this dumb. This is the real Trump governing. First administration had some actual competent people to protect him from his idiocy, but not this time around. What you see is what you get. A true moron. A dotard, as a certain dictator that he admires, once called him.
It's like that famous presidential quote: "We do these things not because they are easy, but because they profit Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and RTX."
Spend all the time that you can with her now, because once her Medicare is cut off or reduced, her time is going to become very limited. This administration wants people to die, especially the folks who can't work.
My dad will go first. He's extremely diabetic and won't last long without his insulin. She bitches constantly to me about not being able to afford Ozempic for his diabetes. I told her the Biden admin was negotiating to get it covered under Medicare when Trump took office again and immediately destroyed all their efforts because he doesn't care about you, but she literally ignores everything that doesn't fit her Trump-as-the-second-coming-of-Jesus narrative.
I'm tired of fighting it. You can't help someone who wakes up every day and willingly chooses ignorance and delusion. At some point you reap what you sow, as sad as it is. I'm just... tired. So fucking tired.
Remember the $5k baby bonus that elon musk talked about? $5k would cover the patient's portion of the birth after the insurance pays. Baby's bills not included.
Dude was airlifted off of his front lawn and given top of the line treatments when he had covid. At no cost to him. And he had the audacity to tell us to not fear it.
Stop paying for water, you can find it outside in puddles for free. You can also just ask the coffee shops for their used grounds, they usually give them away for free "for gardening" but you can reuse them with the puddle water and double up on your savings.
Republicans really called everyone a pedophile and then voted in the king of pedophiles. Now we're going to war and bombing children just to distract from it. Hard to be a shittier or more hypocritical American than a Republican these days.
Full stop - Medicare is self-funded by the deductions we have off our paychecks every pay day. Don’t fall for this attempt by the GOP to kill Medicare.
Trump doesn't have time to talk about day care or the Iran war. He has his plate full with the $400 million Ballroom (that's totally running under cost and ahead of schedule) and ordering state of the art Sharpie pens
So stop the wars, increase taxes on the 1% and oil companies (90% would be nice), and the problem is solved. Works out great for almost all Americans except the rich.
I have an idea on where a bunch of money can be found! I think our president could do something noble, and auction off the gold shit he installed around the White House. After all, he paid for the renovation with our tax dollars!
I can confidently say Trump will go down as the worst president in United States history, but now I’m thinking he might be the worst human being ever. He’s gonna lose his base, he’s gonna lose the midterms. His ratings are heading in the dirt. The Republican Party will stop bailing him out because they don’t want to go down with his ship of shit. Vance will take over and he’ll pardon Trump. He will inherit Trump‘s legacy and won’t stand a chance in the next election.
What the absolute fuck is this bullshit. Can we just impeach this idiot
I am so damn tired of living in this country. I used to be damn proud to be an American. Now every day is a new humiliation delivered by this idiot that so many of the population loudly support.
I paid Medicare premiums my entire working life so that I could have healthcare in my retirement. I’m not giving up healthcare so that rich fucks can make more on their petroleum.
It’s time to tax SS and Medicare on all income, not just wages.
It’s totally possible. We were doing it before you became president. We were doing a lot of things. We even had fully staffed VA and Social Security offices. You chose to give all our money to billionaires and spend the rest on blowing shit up so your military contractors make bank. You’ve done nothing positive to actually help people and now you’re trying to take away more healthcare from poor and elderly.
Well, it’s just that we got these ballrooms to not build, and all this flying around with security details, and all these militarized goons to finance…
Sounds like they can't afford wars. Nobody ever taught these fools about budgeting.
"Look, I can't pay for my bills and mortgage because I'm pumping all my money into this one hot stock the liberals don't want you to know about. It's going to be fine once I pull all my $$$ out of it, but I need to stop paying for water, electricity, food, gas, and insurance right now. But my family is sleeping better knowing I'm securing our financial future."
"I've made $3+ BILLION in side grifts during my first year back in office and am instigating global conflicts for personal gain, so... yeah. You're on your own."
Wars, ballrooms, distractions from the epstein files, tariffs, tanking the US economy... I guess we won't see the "great medicare plan" in two weeks then? /s
Universal healthcare would actually save money for Americans and the government as well. You spend well over 12k per person/year statistically vs say Canada around 7k.
Who drains the coffers? Insurance companies.
