A nice twofer here. Another economic blow to farmers (how's that FO phase going?) while also sticking it to poor people, especially kids.

Well, we finally discovered Trumpf's true athletic ability: He can kill two birds with one stone.

#3 Sure there will be pain, but that is the price he is willing to pay.

All these midwestern hicks voting for the leopard to eat their faces.

Tax cuts for billionaires have to be paid for somehow.

Someday you'll get promoted to fries and then maybe, with a lot of hard work, you can make it up to flipping burgers. Maybe. But probably not.

"the fake DR who flipped burgers"

Definitely something you would be proud of.

More garbage from the idiot who can't remember basic facts, let alone accurately paraphrase or communicate them.

You are literally wrong about everything all the time. F*&^ off and find a hole to disappear in to.
