And much, much more

It's been more than a month and Elon Musk has not uncovered any fraud in federal budget, as far as I can tell. He's just cutting things he doesn't like.

Yes!!! Say more of this!!! It’s the most astonishingly, openly corrupt administration in US history, literally from the first day, and it’ll only get worse. They aren’t even trying to hide it. It’s a degree of corruption that could destabilize the whole country, the whole world.
The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

This article resonated with a lot of people. Thanks for your comments. Yup, a Muslim who went to a Jesuit school understands Jesus better than MAGA. They worship a "false prophet."

What Would Jesus Do During Trump's Second Administration? He'd Stand With Rev. Budde
MAGA's condemnation of Rev. Budde's call for mercy and kindness to immigrants reveals Republicans have betrayed Jesus and now officially worship Donald Trump as their Orange Calf.

So Trump is going to allow foreign companies to bypass regulations giving them a competitive advantage if they invest a billion dollars in starting a business in US, but a smaller American business or startup trying to compete with that foreign business has to comply with them?
