Taxpayers aren’t supposed to deduct losses from something that has no hope of being a profitable business.

We’re not talking enough about how Trump plans to colonize Gaza with Bibi Netanyahu, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) & Elon Musk.

There’s a leaked proposal that literally has:
- Trump Riviera & Islands
- MBS Ring & MBZ Highway
- Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
