With Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” under consideration in Congress, the grifter in chief receives a tax cut of $375,000. Those with incomes below $50,000 see tax increases and lost buying power of $700 annually.
Wealthy people win.
Working people lose — again.

Daily it seems we learn about a disgusting policy pursued by Trump.
Today — it was the efforts in January to deport immigrants to Ukraine.
Let’s deport people struggling for a better life 5000 miles away to a freaking war zone.
Evil.

Why did Elon spend $300 million to help Trump win the presidency?
Rest assured — it wasn’t about principle. It wasn’t about government efficiency. It was never about making America a better country.
Rather — it was about Musk’s wallet.
It always was.

Democrats in Washington proposed an amendment that prohibits Federal funds being used to deport Americans. Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted to KILL the amendment.
This is beyond frightening.
Another very dark turn by the GOP and Trump Administration.

If, as President Trump insists, nations actually pay tariffs, perhaps an enterprising reporter will ask him how much the U.S. Federal Government paid in tariffs to other countries over the last decade?
The answer is ZERO.
Nations DO NOT pay tariffs.

There is no better indication as to the impact the Trump Tariffs are going to have on consumers then his call to Amazon’s Bezos yesterday. If he truly believed they were going to lead to a new “golden age,” he would DEMAND credit on every sales receipt everywhere.
