Its not a "plan to cripple our economy". He's not some syndicated cartoon villian.
Its a a "plan to steal everything not nailed down". Because he is a Saturday morning cartoon villian.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's not Trump's plan. It's the Conservative's plan. Trump is just the ugly face they use to try and distract from that fact.
It's Russia's plan. It's Russian oligarchs that donate to their PACs and own the right wing media.
The DOJ even linked Kremlin dollars to 2,500 of the most popular right wing talking heads right before the election.
Cool, knew that was coming, been saying that for a while, but what you going to do about it?
I mean a few people have tried to kill him. Its not like we're not trying..
Best we can do is ineffectually keep taking the high road against an opponent with no truth value while only being good in comparison to them specifically in a clown democracy with only two parties, and still working for corporate interests more than anything else.
ineffectually keep taking the high road
They're not taking the high road...
Centrists stand at the fork and the road and talk about which one is best, but always just wait till it's a Republican's turn to pick the path, then claim the other would have been better
A democratic senator? They ain’t gonna do sheeeeeat
With Sinema and Manchin blocking everything... there's not much lawmakers can do. America voted these clowns in.
Sounds like Democrats had already crippled our democracy by blocking everything.
Decades of Republicans and Republican partisan media already did that. Sinema and Manchin were end game symptoms, not causes.
Technically it's Putin's plan
Yeah believing Trump has any plans at all for anything other than self-aggrandizing self-enrichment is barking up the wrong tree.
He asks who will stop him?
Why don't you stop him Chris Murphy?
Are you not suppose to protect this country from all this?
All of you will do nothing and expect a citizen to the job?
GTFO.
He wasn’t kidding when he said Democrats were the no. 1 threat
He needed to say "after the Republicans" but other than that he's not wrong.
The US isn't a democracy. Stop pretending like it was before.
Your getting downvoted but being given 2 choices, that you really didn't have any input in selecting isn't a democracy. It's just the illusion of some sort of democracy and control.
Those two choices are both pro climate destruction and both pro genocide and both pro nuclear weapons and both pro companies. They're both nearly the same party in the sense that they both are running towards mass extinction.
You can and should vote for another option, but the state has historically arrested those candidates when they went to the debates.
Its a plutocracy, not a democracy.
ItS a RePuBlIc! 🙄 Edit: /s for those who weren't aware
No, it's a plutocracy
