Trump wants States to raise Taxes to pay for the war

[Mashmont]

The is pretty simple... Trump says that he wants to cut the federal government spending to pay for his war...

So again US taxpayers are forking out for a war in the middle east while either pay more taxes or getting worse services(and paying the same taxes)...
There is proposed budget cuts to health and science coming from White House to Congress... How do you compete with China while cutting science?

Please tell us, how is this making America Great?

When is the penny going to drop that all oil taken out of the ground belongs to oil companies(in most places) now matter what country it happen in and is sold as Global Commodity.
So there is no such thing as American Oil, actually Iran does own the oil they extract by nationalising it in the 1950s, but that was the reason US and UK arranged a Coup and got the Shah in charge.

Parents should raise their own kids. Dad works. Mom raises the kids. The parents are married, of course. That system works pretty well.

Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $5.7 Billion of U.S. Income in 2025

Tesla enjoyed almost $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025 but paid $0 in federal income tax. Over the past three years, the Elon Musk-led company reported $12.5 billion of U.S. income on which its current federal tax was just $48 million.

It is pretty simple, he borrows money all his life and his estate will pay it back when he dies, tax free...

what were the profits? That's what one taxes on.

MAGA never met a problem that they could blame a Democrat....

Look at poverty levels in US states.

There you Dems go again, FAKING and LYING and TELLING HALF TRUTHS. Honestly it's pathetic at this point. We would point out the DEMOCRAT run shitholes in those states with all the DEMOCRATS in poverty but you assholes will only ignore it again.

Morons like Ted would claim that it was just the 'right blaming the left.' Do you notice he doesn't attempt to address the WHY of the right blaming the left.

He can't win that debate, so he deflects. Classic, but about the only things Democrats have left are deflections.

Harris and her handlers lost because they were not listening to the voters. DEI and LBGTQ issues and agenda were a higher priority. When pressed on inflation and spending, Harris’s plan was to mandate price ceilings and start taxing unrealized capital gains - both moves were extremely Marxist by design and would have e crushed capital markets in the US

Trump was pressed on numerous things that he just deflected and moved on from each time. You never got a real answer from him on any of his policy plans. Everything was either pie in the sky or just vague promises. Remember his concept of a plan for healthcare? Yea, democrats were probably not excited at all about voting for Kamala harris but swing voters in swing states was what decided the election and they all voted on vibes and feels, and nothing more. Many didn't even have a clue what a tariff was, and the ones who did thought the other country had to pay it. Having a dumb, uneducated electorate was why Trump won. Which is precisely why he once said, "I love the uneducated." It's no wonder they made him president twice!

Nothing is more insulting than calling the electorate stupid or mocking them for not being educated because they didn’t vote the way you wanted them. Under Biden-Harris, The electorate was smart enough to feel the pains of the largest spike in consumer prices in almost 50 years. The electorate was also concerned about border security. Harris and the elite Democrats didn’t want to hear any of that since their top priority was social engineering.

Maybe those voters came to the obvious conclusion that "NOT TRUMP" wasn't a platform. They better start wising up and get a platform before 2028 because "NOT VANCE" isn't going to fly either.

I'm just agreeing with Trump on how he feels about his voters.

That's definitely an issue they desperately need help with, but better to have no platform then to just outright lie like Trump does.

Do you agree with the Democrat Party when the Architect of Obamacare said that the success of that legislation hinged on the “stupidity of the American voter”?

Hillary had it right all along. Trump supporters really are "deplorables"

Are you saying Obama said that about voters? Link?

Please re-read my post. I’m saying the Obamacare Architect made that comment about “the stupidity of the American voter” - Jonathan Gruber.
