The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Yeah yeah he’s cringe but can you imagine being dumb enough to fall for this shit? Like oh sure the worlds richest man with billions in government contracts is saying that disability payments are the real scam, he seems legit lol
