Just a reminder that before he even took office, Trump tried to strongarm Congress into increasing the debt ceiling.
There has never been any intention to actually save any money. That was and is a blatant and obvious lie, as evidenced by the simple and undeniable fact that Trump has already signaled his clear intention to not only increase spending, but to increase it even more than Congress was willing to go along with.
So of course the "receipts" don't add up - they're part of the lie.
The saddest thing is that I'm sure he's going to cook the books so GDP and the deficit look amazing while actually being much worse then any of the Biden years.
Oh absolutely. Filing false financial information in order to inflate value is one of his specialties.
Standard conservative lie.
Sell assets and put them in the budget to mask the deficit and "pay for" tax cuts.
Stephen Harper and Pierre Poilievre turned a $15 billion / year surplus into a $20 billion / year deficit that way, masking it as "only" $10 billion a year for 8 years.
Don't forget the costs of desperately trying to rehire critical employees, rebuilding essential agencies, and the environmental and human toll for yielding oversight to corporate greed!
Give them a break. Last year at this same time the guy probably working for DOGE that came up with that report's most stressful task was asking Olivia Stevens if she would go to high school senior prom with him. /s
“Typo” riiiiiight
Ohhh bad paperwork? The got him now! It won't be much longer until he's SLAMMED. We're finally winning!!! \s
Better than doing nothing while complaining about those who are trying to do things
Theyre not even putting in effort to hide the lies anymore? Do they feel that invincible and no one can stop them from making themselves the first trillionaires by stealing from the American public?
These guys seemingly got dates wrong, so....if The fElon Youth are bullshitting on this, too...no surprise.
What do you mean you found it… and kept it?
