Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

White House Recycled Old Trump Church Visit to Mark Holy Week

Trump’s Easter message was paired with a four-year-old photo. In reality, he spent the weekend golfing and attending UFC fights in Florida.

I still want to take care of veterans.

Trump talks about loving veterans (left). Then fucks them over. 80000 jobs to be cut at the VA.

He is a treasonous disgrace.

Trump's decades-long worship of John Gotti-style mob rule reached its zenith Friday in the Oval Office, with the shakedown of Ukraine's Zelensky aided by his underboss JD Vance

Like Gotti, America's embrace of an amoral strongman will not end well. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
John Gotti would have OK’d the Trump-Vance mob hit on Zelensky
The shocking Oval Office shakedown of Ukraine's president was the fulfillment of Trump's 1990s vow to be a great mob boss.
