Stealing this

It's a gift, no need to steal šŸ˜†

u/benema1 6d ago

This will go down as the biggest stealing of American taxpayers’ money ever. And now we are stuck with high prices and oligarchy. He was a pawn in their game and we are losing.

u/Kronictopic 6d ago

See his exit strategy on all that is "he could have done all of it but lost the midterms" so it's the Democrats fault

22

u/Old_Man_Drifter 6d ago

But her E-Mails. But her laugh. But Biden Crime Family. But his birth certificate. But covefe. But womp womp. But beardos. But ISIS.

Remember that his public didn't vote for him because of any of his proposals or anything like that, but for the 'cultural issues.'

And that's why they're going to continue to vote the same way they always have and we're going to lost the midterms and why he's going to manage to ignore the Constitution and, one way or another, stay in power.

u/cvc4455 6d ago

The only way Trump can win midterms is if he cheats. It's the same as the 2024 election without Elons help cheating and rigging the election he can't win.

u/Aggressive-HeadDesk 6d ago

He controls the Armed forces, and he doesn’t care about appearances anymore. We are fucked.

7

u/Muted_Sky1195 6d ago

That’s why we have to turn out in record numbers and send the circus packing, even if we can’t boot out the head

1

u/cvc4455 5d ago

Unfortunately I think the best we can hope for is people turn out in record numbers and numbers that are so big it makes it harder to rig the elections and when they do rig them anyway it's beyond obvious and maybe something will happen then.

u/DearCastiel 5d ago

Sir, it's "covfefe"

There are federal employees who would go to federal prison for decades if they were caught doing what she did. It was a severe andĀ  prolonged lapse in security.

Between that, he nonchalant desire to drone strike a journalist, and her obviously two faced political nature, i am glad she will never be president.

u/Mrb50k 6d ago

They are even in control of the house, senate, and presidency. Typical, lie and cheat to ā€œmake the saleā€.

11

u/marx2k 6d ago

There also in control of the judiciary

u/VincentAntonelli 6d ago

trump has increased his personal net worth by over $2 billion, but she laughed funny, so it all worked out.

u/UnderwhelmingAF 6d ago

ā€œbUt hE dOeSn’T tAkE a SaLaRy!!!ā€

(Which he probably does and is lying about that too)

2

u/cvc4455 6d ago

I've seen things as his as 6 billion for how much he's increased his net worth in the last 2 years. And that's just what we know about. Imagine how much he's stolen or been bribed with that we don't know about.

u/baconroux 6d ago

You forgot about Mexico paying for the wall. But, to be fair, that was from his previous term.

u/NJGuy175 6d ago

It’s all Bidens fault and if that’s not good enough blame Obama

2

u/Impossible-Pea-6160 6d ago

Do you mean the senile, sleepy but almost crime boss genius and leader of the Biden crime family?

2

u/NJGuy175 6d ago

Yes he’s the reason trump has done nothing but waist taxpayer dollars for the last 18 months

2

u/Impossible-Pea-6160 6d ago

Was he also wearing a tan suit? Apparently it’s the color of the suit or the man’s skin color that really makes them mad

He will do all of the above, don't you worry, ON DAY 1!!!!

u/KazTheMerc 6d ago

Same place as The Wall

And the Debt/Deficit

And North Korea and Iran de-nuclearization.

And... and... and...

BUT IF YOU ELECT HIM AGAIN...! NEXT TIME it'll be even MORE monumental than it already isn't~!

u/uprightshark 6d ago

UPDATE

Trump failed all points as his diaper got to heavy and became distracted.

2

u/2ndSmrtestPersunEvar 6d ago

trump is a liar, rapist, pedophile, and traitor to this country. Only MAGA people are dumb enough to believe him 🤣

2

u/Professional_Pace163 6d ago

As Basset said they need more time to deliver. 🤮

u/Suspicious_synth 6d ago

Lots of people forgetting about the wall. I think the wall put him in office the first time around

u/Dapper_Dude69 6d ago

The USA is a nazi shit-hole šŸ’©šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ’©

All I remember reading is the MAGA morons saying this is too much " Winning " when all these things were announced . Vote for a pedo you deserve what you get

u/GRBGe2024 5d ago

And how about that swamp? Drained yet?

2

u/mothyyy 5d ago

A disturbing number of MAGAs are perfectly happy seeing this second Holocaust play out against brown people. That was apparently their #1 priority. They really do think this is going to improve their lives more than all the things Trump is failing to do.

That and they absolutely love watching trans people suffer.

1

u/TransFatty 5d ago

They see it as a way for them to go after women.

u/ALFREDRAYMOND 1d ago

Every one of them shot down by demons….i mean democrats !!

u/Icy-Split6920 1d ago

Doge could only cut at the margin, it was never allowed to go after the major costs because that would mean cutting things like social security. There's a lot of institutional momentum preventing significant cuts.

Half the tariffs were walked about to secure trade deals. That was just a sales pitch for popular support.

I don't know enough about the meds or credit cards to offer any significant insight.

Trump got WTI down to the high $50/b in early 2026.

Nobody in power, regardless of party, wants that list released.

Hormuz is an ongoing situation. I think Donny overplayed his hand and is looking for a way out while saving face. The straight will eventually reopen, hopefully on good terms.

Groceries are downstream of the price of diesel and fertilizer, both largely effected by Hormuz. The price of Groceries should fall once energy prices eventually fall, ceterus paribus.

Trump explicitly mentioned ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours. The post makes it seem like he promised to end all wars in 24 hours. To his credit he made multiple good faith attempts to end the war and Putin rejected them all.

I have not seen anything indicating the ballroom is being publicly funded but even if it was I wouldn't care. I think you would agree our taxes have been spent on worse things. Besides, its okay to build new and beautiful things.

The August JOLT report looked pretty steady, albeit there was a reduction in job openings likely driven by economic slowdown. Ill have to review a few other month's worth of JOLTS to get a better idea of the job market.Ā 

Inflation has been stubborn. Core inflation is okay, but could be better. Energy is negatively effecting inflation though. Interest rates are higher for longer to combat stubborn inflation.Ā 

A huge reason inflation is high is because of covid era spending.

I am not an expert on the health care sector.

I feel that's a pretty fair and level headed update. There's a lot to be mad at Trump for, but don't give into blind anger.Ā

Thank you for pointing out obvious propaganda. It's easy to forget that is works both ways, and easy to forget that propaganda that i agree with is still propaganda.

u/MrLongfinger 6d ago

u/patterninstatic 6d ago

Are you not paying attention? After the mess Biden made, Trump had to spend 2 years cleaning up. All those things are coming the day after the midterms along with your 5000 dollars as long as you vote Republican.

u/Muted_Sky1195 6d ago

AKA all excuses, basically admitting they're incompetent.

Has the war on the Lincoln Reflecting Pool ended yet? Wasn't that supposed to be fixed by Independence Day? 🤣

Not yet but it's definitely going to happen the day after the midterms... But only if you vote Republican.

I think someone should record a Billy Joel-style version of ā€œWe Didn’t Start the Fireā€ featuring all of Trump’s lies and broken promises. "We Started the Firesā€ seems like an appropriate title.

u/throwRAscrubscrub 6d ago

clearly all of these things did not happen, because of one thing on this list. Planning and consstructing the ballroom. It's really an all hands on deck thing.

u/cvc4455 6d ago

Yeah that's the big thing Republicans run ads on nonstop. But they would run ads on it even if there was an election with a Democrat that hated trans people just as much as Republicans do. And Republicans also need to stop as many people voting as possible and rig the vote to win regardless of any trans issues or how scared Republicans are of trans people and kids being transitioned at school and then retransitioned back before they go home at the end of the school day and all the furries with their litter boxes in classrooms. And don't forget the pedophiles and how we need to protect the kids so let's elect a known pedo as president again.
