If the "Big Beautiful Bill" gets passed, we'll all owe $160,000 more per household in national debt. Trump pretending to be Santa Clause isn't helping the country, but just putting more money into the bank accounts of billionaires. Under that bill, people like you and me will not see more than a few $hundred in tax cuts. Our taxes will be about the same, while the national debt balloons another $10 trillion in the next 4 years. You're a smart guy. You know what that means. Do you think it's worth it?

And before you defer to Trump's wisdom, remember that he's the guy who thinks we can win a trade war. His tariffs have already hurt our economy in ways that have only begun to be felt, but will hurt us for generations. He's making the USA the enemy of the Western World. He's making our allies run to make trade deals with China, so they don't have to deal with US tariffs. I know I say it a lot, but Trump is an imbecile. He's just giving away money to the billionaires because they helped get him into office and now he can grift some $billions for himself.

I agree that many people were upset with President Biden and the way things were going, but Trump never had a plan to actually fix anything. It was his billionaire supporters who pitched in hundreds of $millions to get Trump elected in order to get their precious tax cuts, while Harris was promising to raise taxes on the top 1%.

So here we are, several months into Trump's term, well after his "day one" promises to fix inflation and end the war in Ukraine. "Promises made, something something."

The truth is that Trump is an imbecile, never had a plan to actually fix anything, but just wanted to get back into the proverbial "big chair" and make himself king.

Wells Fargo warns Trump’s tariffs won’t bring back American manufacturing jobs, which will need a minimum $2.9 trillion investment to regain peak

The imbecile, Donald Trump, is at it again, after crowing about all sorts of deals, that were never actually made, now promises more and more tariffs on our European allies, sowing new animosity toward the US because he doesn't know or care how tariffs actually work. Maybe we won't get all the benefits promised in that "Big Beautiful Bill" but at least our new phones will cost $hundreds more. Who here is already tired of winning?

I disagree. Hobbling FEMA when tragedy strikes all over the country just hurts people. It doesn't save much money, and we pay taxes so that our government can serve us. Apparently, Trump thinks he pays too much taxes, and is taking in $millions from his billionaire donors around the world while he's destroying the government.

The Trump Administration break the government to show you that government is broken. This way you'll know not to depend on the government to protect you from the oligarchs breaking laws.

BTW: Nobody's ever shown what laws Biden broke. What crimes, and where's your evidence?!

There was no coverup. The Biden Administration ran fine. I understand that Trump likes to pretend that Biden was out of it for the whole term, but it still looks bad that Biden got so much done, while all Trump can do is grift $billions from crooked deals around the world while burning down our legal system.

Caterpillar Says Tariffs May Increase Q2 Costs by Up to $350 Million
www.manufacturing.net/operations/news/22939903/caterpillar-says-tariffs-may-increase-q2-costs-by-up-to-350-million


Trump's plan isn't working. He wrecking the US auto manufacturing industry. Sure, semiconductor jobs are coming back to the US, but that has been happening since Biden's CHIPS Act. I know there have been a few other announcements, but nothing binding. Tariffs on steel and aluminum are killing regular manufacturing, and makes heavy manufacturing prohibitively expensive. Caterpillar and the major automakers will have to move production offshore, now. Trump really is an imbecile.

Neat. Trump calls Biden corrupt, but provides no evidence. Now, I get it that your article is from 2023, & before Congressional Republicans were done with their investigations, so Trump was hopeful they'd find something on Joe. But it never happened.

So go ahead let me know if you find anything that shows Biden was corrupt at all, much less more corrupt than Trump.

Meanwhile:

Trump’s Middle East visit comes as his family deepens its business, crypto ties in the region
apnews.com/article/trump-business-interests-family-middle-east-cryptocurrency-cbb7d2354304ce0308800819944cf3f8

Middle Eastern countries curry favor with Trump by making real estate deals with his sons. Heh. Remember when Republicans were losing their minds that Hunter & James Biden seemed to be making money off their family name, while Joe Biden wasn't even in office? Those were the days, huh?

FEMA to assess St. Louis tornado damage this week. Help for homeowners is uncertain
www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_news/fema-to-assess-st-louis-tornado-damage-this-week-help-for-homeowners-is-uncertain/article_aeecec01-62ab-4910-b4ab-85c57b24459e.html

* Tornadoes strike Missouri, including five in the St. Louis area
* FEMA is responding, but cannot say when, or if help will be available
* Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe will ask President Trump to declare it a disaster to facilitate recovery with federal help

This is not leadership. During the Biden Administration, when they saw major storms coming, FEMA pre-positioned first responders and the disaster declarations were nearly instant. Now, FEMA is under-staffed, under-funded and much less effective, while Trump drags his feet when asked to help. And these are the "red" states facing most of these crises. I hate to think about how he's going to turn his back on states that didn't mostly vote for him in '24.

Nope. Nobody ever had anything on the Clintons or Biden. That's the fact. The only deep state are the cronies Trump is trying to install now. In order to bring charges, they have to name the laws broken, and present evidence in court. Even the indictment has to show some sort of cause for the indictment. What was there for the Clintons and Biden? NOTHING!!! When will you MAGA followers realize this?

As far as "fair for all?"
* Trump openly violating the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution & Republicans in Congress are blocking any investigation or resolutions on the matter.
* During the Biden Administration, Congressional Republicans conducted several investigations into Biden's finances, believing he may have taken some sort of payment, and even spread personal information of Hunter Biden (a private citizen--not in government).
* Trump directing the FCC to investigate the media, and is investigating every major media outlet *except for FOX News.*
* Trump is suing CBS for editing a "60 Minutes" interview, but demanding dismissal of civil lawsuits against himself because it would interfere with his job.

I could go on, but you get the point.

Then why were the Republicans like Congressmen Comer and Jordan covering for Biden and his family? It's clear that they found no criminality because there was no criminality. Republicans have been investigating Biden for decades, since before he was Vice President, and Biden even released decades of his tax returns--which trump has yet to do, despite promises. And nobody has anything on Joe Biden. Same for the Clintons. Probably for the same reason. Maybe take a moment & realize that you've been lied to, regarding a "Biden crime family."

LOL. The article is from early February, back when Elon Musk was still promising $trillions in savings, but not really finding any savings. They've gone on to fire thousands of federal employees and contractors whom they had to hurriedly hire back, so the disruption is an added cost. Meanwhile we have a record increase in aviation incidents after Musk solicited the resignation of thousands of FAA employees.

Waste? Hardly. More like absolute failure.

Moody’s downgrades United States credit rating, citing growth in government debt

You call that leadership?! Trump is driving the country into the ground! He has no f***ing clue what he's doing!

This!

Add your comment to the pile of evidence of your Trump Derangement. Trump admits that businesses will have to "eat the tariffs" in order for their customers to not pay more. How do you, as an adult, miss that tariffs are a tax paid by the buyer?

And now that is is Trump, you guys wish it'd just go away. Can't admit that the convicted felon isn't completely honest. Open to some crime. It's disgusting.

All the stuff that went to the Bidens was already investigated, and they found nothing illegal. I'm sure the Congressional Republicans would've loved to find anything, but all they could was a canceled check from when Biden wasn't in office. I saw the debate where Biden blanked out, but even that doesn't show that he's unfit for office, compared the the orange grifter we've currently got.

It seems more delusional that you're praising Donald Trump so much. The guy imposed taxes on all imports and pretended that consumers don't have to pay the higher costs. He's an imbecile.

This week, he's flying around various Middle Eastern countries making pretend investment deals, and you're completely fooled. Note that those "deals" he's made are non-binding, and not bound by date or penalty. They hold no more weight than a "pinkie" swear.

Trump tells Walmart to ‘eat the tariffs’ after retailer warned it will raise prices
www.cnbc.com/2025/05/17/trump-tells-walmart-to-eat-the-tariffs.html

* Trump blasted Walmart after the retailer warned it will raise prices due to tariffs.
* The company is the latest to warn consumers could face higher prices because of Trump’s new duties on imports.
* Walmart’s CFO says the company is pleased with the progress in trade talks but that duties are “still too high.”

Trump griped that Walmart should not pass costs to customers (and apparently ignore their shareholders):

Oh yeah. I forgot what absolute hell it was to have record market highs and record low unemployment, and the vaccination effort was ramped up so quickly that everybody forgot about the empty shelves left by Trump, back in 2021. A complete disaster.

OK, neat. Consider that just months ago, when Biden was still in office, Republicans were losing their minds over President Biden's brother and son having consulted for and getting paid by foreign corporations. Not even the president. It's obvious that if Joe Biden had accepted any such gift, it'd cause Fox & Newsmax on-air personalities' heads explode. The Emoluments Clause in the Constitution is clear. Never mind that Trump is making deals to put up Trump Towers in several Middle East countries just this month. This is a grift, and completely illegal until approved by Congress.

The Trump Library is not the National Archives. And by the time it would transfer out of the USAF, it'll probably be less than a year out of the overhaul the jet would need to serve as a presidential transport. The jet in the Reagan Library (a Boeing 707), was retired after the then-new 747s entered service in 1990. I don't know why you guys keep missing this point. And that's on top of the "gift" 747 coming from a state sponsor of terrorism, and conflicts of interest from Trump himself, and his Attorney General with Qatar.
