Who is getting hurt and what we are losing with what Trump and Musk are doing!

[Frankenstein]

So its about money and not humanity. It is about being seen as a Russia and not as what the U.S. has represented for 248 years.

So you are against making sure our own are fed, before we feed every other nation?

 

[LeftofLeft]

Foreign aid is at best 1 percent of our budget.

So who's kidding who here OP?

Why are you people Good with Waste, Fraud, and Abuse? Tell your 1 percent story to US homeless and vets.

 

[Leo123]

Every action in life has benefits and consequences and the bottom line is that the goal is to always have more benefits than consequences, so the nation and its people can advance and not recede (two steps forward and 1 back rather than the opposite). This OP is going to discuss who is getting hurt and if the consequences of Trump's actions will end up being a plus or a minus for our country.

What Trump has been doing it trying to keep his campaign promises and as such, he is having a 53% approval rating for doing that. Keeping campaign promises is never a bad thing because it is what he was elected to do. Having said that, the way he does that and what the end result ends up being is what is going to make this nation better or worse.

Let me start with this one piece of common sense. Doing a lot of harm to others is never a plus.


In addition, his shutdown of USAID not only removes jobs from thousands of Americans but removes aid from the poor, sick, and needy in the world.

The plus to all of this is a reduction in spending. This hopefully means less debt but the way that Trump is doing it also means the following:

1) less Americans working
2) less taxes being collected
3) less people receiving the needed help to stay alive
4) more Americans needing help
5) more American companies losing the income they need to stay in business
6) more chaos and less order
7) allies becoming enemies
8) hate and payback feelings increased, bringing new problems

Yes, some of the promises made fulfill a need that the nation has but the way that Trump and Musk are going about fulfilling those promises is by using a sledgehammer approach and that is never a plus. Destroying things that have been in effect for decades and offer good and needed things but are full of "fat", is not the way to go. You trim the fat and put them on a diet but you don't blow them away and start from scratch.

That is a recipe for disaster

My biggest accusation against Trump has always been incompetency. He has tried many things in life but with the exceptions of the things his father taught him from a young age (Real Estate and scamming people), Trump has been a disaster. He does not learn from his mistakes because he is a narcissist and always blames others for his own mistakes.

Musk has been a highly successful businessman all his life but it has always been in things he had an interest in and spent time learning about. Nonetheless, his ego has grown to such a degree that he is no longer spending the time to learn new things (such as what governing needs and requires, and what being in a business he has never been in, like social media needs and requires).

He bought Twitter in October of last year and made huge changes (the same he is trying to do now), and now 4 months later, Twitter (as X) has lost 79% in value, has lost most of its income (advertisers have left) and has lost viewership as the changes he made to the media itself, are not liked by the viewers.

Both of these people are making huge changes and are not thinking about the consequences of what they are doing and what possibly was a good thing is now looking like a disaster-in-the-making.

Amen

Total bullshit. Why do you waste your time like this?

Listen closely moron. The SS is paying for the structures that they are occupying. When the Clinton's sell the place--there will be no return of taxpayer funds and those improvements to the property will enrich the Clintons. Clear now, ignoramus?

The structures on Clinton's property were paid for by taxpayers. Trump built his properties with no taxpayer monies. You aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

The American taxpayer is getting fair value for their dollar. Yawn. Do you pay for your residence? When you travel, do you pay for the hotel? Who's pocket do those dollars go into? Howl some more, I don't think the man in the green cheese moon can hear you.

Care about double dipping? You mean like Biden, taking a salary from the US taxpayer and a salary, 10%, for selling out to China and Ukraine? Like that traitorous sell out that you voted for did? Like that? Run along, you're an empty headed plaything.
