Like you give away tax cuts to big corporations and the richest Americans?
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

"You don't want, if you're running a cover up, to be continually intriguing people with new developments." Trump is a moral monster, but he might be losing his cold-blooded, crazy-like-a-fox political instincts.

I'm often critical of Senate Democrats for not doing more, but in this instance they did everything we could've asked for.
senate democrats did literally everything possible to stop this bill and to draw attention to it, and they succeeded in striking several awful parts from it *and* forced two retirements, if you they could’ve done more, your argument is with arithmetic, not politics
I hate what Republicans do with the heat of a thousand suns but it takes two to do a fascism: one to act and the other to not stop him. That is why I keep saying, hey, let’s stop them. Shaking a fist is good but throwing one is better.

As the entire Trump administration declares a fatwa on anyone saying its strikes on Iran were anything other than an overwhelming and permanent geopolitical triumph, it’s fair to wonder whether they’re falling into that old "Mission Accomplished" trap.
The Public Is Resisting Trump. The Elites Aren’t.
The president is encountering little resistance as he remakes our society. And yet polling is clear that voters aren’t with him.
