He campaigned on fighting for the people. In his world only billionaires are considered people, the rest of us are takers. Yea, THEY TAKE all our taxes for themselves.
I read here last week we are near 2 fucking Trillion added to our debt since January. The fastest debt increase in history, but they cut millions of jobs to stop waste and fraud. Who took that trillion plus in debt? If I need to answer that, well, yes we are really fucked.
Imagine the debt increase in 3 more years, maybe the rest of his life and his Spawn that will become inherited Kings. No worries, Ivanka and Melania will never be Queens, Christian Nationalist and Nazis will never put a woman on top. Before Jr, Eric and Barron are done with their reign, we will be a scorched earth hell scape anyway.
Happy Halloween, we ALL should be terrified this time.
