Bottom line: there is waste in government and it's noble to have it removed and save tax payers money or use it for better purposes.

Fact: there are much, much better ways to approach than Trump/Musk are doing.

But this is how Trump operates. Even putting out memos have errors in them. Think their capable of shutting down entire departments effectively?

In the end, they will hurt Americans, but benefit themselves.

You can see this coming for a mile away.

Why don't YOU explain why anything needed to be fixed since we were lectured that he inherited an awesome economy?

He did inherit a humming economy.

But now things are already going in the wrong direction and Trump better be careful before he wrecks it........

Prediction: Trump will do every bandaide in the book for very short term (hopefully) rewards but end up wrecking the economy for the Dems to clean up.

I was told the economy was great under Biden. So what is Trump supposed to fix if everything was so great?

You complained about egg prices.

Now you are being told you can't buy as many as you'd like or can afford.

See the difference?

Conflict of interest anyone?

Musk said he was told there are currently over $100 billion per year of entitlements payments to individuals with no Social Security Number or "even a temporary ID number

Told from who? lol...this sounds like the old "I'm hearing things" that Trump spouts off.

In terms of let's listen to Musk and see the proof - when exactly will that happen? Musk actually said in the Oval Office, and I'll paraphrase "If the press sees something, they won't hesitate to call me out". Oh gee, thanks.

Well how they hell will they call him out if this is done all behind the scenes? There is no written plan or design - it's being done on the fly and Musk not only has made mistakes already but he also promotes untrue stories and sources on his platform X. He's the worst guy to be doing this without oversight.

Total -------- and the GOP is letting him get away with it. Disaster is right around the corner.

More on this from Politico:

Why is this not getting MORE national attention?

..and now he's making financial/budget decisions for the nation?

I swear I must be living in a dream world. This guy - neither voted nor confirmed by Congress - doing this.

I said it before, this guy is bad news for the United States.

Great move by Trump to save money.

Only appoint someone when you actually need them.

MAGA logic at its best.

Question: Mr Trump, are you visting the site?

Trump: Yes, but not the actual site, it's water. What am I going to do, go swimming?

This guy has the worst traits for this position - this important position - and it's going to evetually cost us.

It almost did the first time around...........

Oh, another!

Trump takes credit for airlines' safety record

Horrible plane crash under his reign.

January 20: FAA director fired
January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

But it's DEI right? And when it was proven today it was not, Vance said "Yeah, but DEI puts a lot of stress on the system".

Great answer dude.

How about all those changes listed above put the system under stress you idiot.

Oh, one more!!!

Says only criminals take the 5th - he takes the 5th.

Donald fires the head of the TSA, the head of the Coast Guard, and the aviation safety commission. Then this happens.

Hmmmm, wonder how FOX News would handle this little nugget?

This is Trump, though. He's a walking ------- and comedy show where everything circles back to him. Here's some examples:

1. Laughs at COVID - almost dies from COVID.

2. Says "Lock'em up" to his opponents, sees his people (and rightfully so) locked up and he himself almost gets jailed.

3. Says Mexico will pay for the wall - YOU pay for the wall.

4. Says 1st Ammendment rights are under attack - he wants to shut out free press.

5. Says the election is rigged against him - tries to steal an election.

Well, the pardons already seem to be backfiring.

One was pulled over for a vehicle infraction, had guns, and ended up being shot by a deputy.

Another is currently wanted for soliciting a minor (Per Daily Beast).

And the really big ones were already seen around the Capitol (talking to politicians) and now have been given free access to go there with the courts permission.

Won't end well, just sayin'...........

Well, I guess those people who thought pardons would just lay all the J6 invesigations to rest and get the GOP to governing the country were wrong.

They won't let it go - and it will be interesting to see how they divert from the obvious actions of their leader - one Don Trump.

Get your popcorn ready.

How do you prepare a report and ignore Trump rejecting phone calls and sitting in the WH for nearly three hours before doing anything?

Maybe they'll have blank pages in that part of the report :)

Egg prices, by the way, are now at an all time high. So much for that promise.

Doesn't matter, it's a no win battle with MAGA.

They didn't understand or care to even know why prices were high, they were just told Trump could bring them down.

Now they'll be given the reason - by Trump - and they'll put blame elsewhere.

It the same thing over and over again.

So if there is a new, potentially deady health threat the agencies responsible to inform the public should remain silent!

Of course, Trump learned big time to protect his interest after his first term and COVID.

People be damned, it's MY ECONOMY!!!!!

Why is Trump even upset?

She aked for mercy on these people.......a king usually loves when the common person begs.

Seems right up Trump's alley.

Trump campaigned that he would do it, the people agreed and he kept his promise.

What people? Certainly not the overall majority and I bet even the majority that voted for Trump.

Every poll shows overwhelmingly the pardons were a mistake.

If you buy into the rigged election only, do you buy into this.

Again, Trump had threatened these people on live television - mind you with zero proof.

While I agree this is not what a pardon is designed for, why would you not use it, esp on your own family?

And yet again, this is Trump breaking NORMS. We never really had issues before in the history of our country until he came along.

Not impeaching him brought us to this.

I'm consistent too... Fair trial/Impartial jury.

And these people did not receive that?

Trump doesn't like how J6 is being correctly told. He's totally innocent, according to him. And to back that, he pardons people from J6.

Trust me, if J6 didn't involve him he'd wouldn't give two ---- about those people.

With Trump, it's all about him.

The Justice Department was weaponized against Trump, y'all get mad when he uses it against you?

This is like the 10 year old who gets caught lying, has to be grounded, then blames everyone else for his trouble.

What qualifications did Hunter have to be on the board of Burisma

Probably none. It's rich privledge - and they all play it including Trump and family. Remember the billion dollars given to his son-in-law (oh, BTW, the Dems totally ingored it).

But you had Comer looking everywhere to pin it on the Bidens and came up with nothing (other than a gun charge and tax envasion which we already knew about).

You keep talking about it and show nothing.

Meanwhile, Trump was actually charged. You may not agree with it - but at least the Dems actually put something on the table (albeit WAY LATE).
