Jerk. The billionaires can afford it a lot more than everyone else.
If you take every penny every billionaire has, it wouldn’t pay for 1 yr of expenses
The annual interest on the national debt is about 1 trillion dollars.
The annual cost of healthcare is 4T after admin. Then get rid of the military budget.
4T a year in expenses.
Then what ?

Can you imagine how incriminating the Epstein files must be for Trump that the White House and DOJ are willing to face months more uproar with a partial release that keeps the issue alive during an election year when they are already trailing?

Bumping this. Trump has conditioned voters to expect instant results on the economy.
And now he can't deliver -- because the economy doesn't turn on a dime.
And, he refuses to acknowledge that voters hold him responsible for some of their concerns.
Guess what? The Fed chair does, too.

So what is the Trump admin to do?
How do you tell people that you promised one economy — and delivered on certain campaign promises — but lack the results to show for it?
And how do you do that after you've **specifically conditioned** the American voter/consumer to lack patience for that result?
