This is particularly obscene when you realize Republicans want to take food, shelter, healthcare, jobs, and due process from the bottom 50% of people in the US to free up cash to give the greedy, sociopaths who are the richest 0.1% in the US even more money for yachts, bonuses, and villas.
The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

100 days in, and Trump has already failed
It only took 100 days for Trump to tank his presidency and wreck what marginal popularity he possessed. His failure to deliver on his promises means that a strong majority of Americans now oppose him.
