I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout?

Republicans voted no.

It wrongly pretends corporate power isnt the creator of scarcity.

Its political theory was tried in 2024 & was defeated by Trump.

Don’t let anyone tell you this guy is popular or that the country is trending his way. Just isn’t true. Never was.
