Trump is stealing $10 billion tax dollars.

This should be a bigger deal.

But Republicans are so desperate to prove Trump was a smart choice to vote for they'll let him loot and plunder America before speaking out.

This has to be one of the most blatant grifts our nation has ever seen.

MAGA Jesus has learned a few things.
For one, there are literally almost zero restraints to keep him from doing anything goddamn thing he wants to do.
This is what the Republican Party has helped create.
MAGA Jesus is Robert Mugabe is MAGA Jesus.
Praise be, MAGA Jesus.

$10 billion?!? Seems kinda low. Trump should negotiate that with himself up to $300 trillion, about ten times our annual GDP. A small price to pay for the excellent stewardship Trump has provided our nation for those years, past, present, and future.

Jill Stein / Ralph Nader 2028!

What have you got to lose?

Right now everyone in the GOP is trying to steal as much as possible from the taxpayers before it all collapses due to their spending.
