I feel like I've been unable to see the forest for the trees ..... and ignoring the genius of Trump's economic "policies." Let's take a look; 1) He pushed through $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, mostly for the rich. 2) To do so, he cut all sorts of social services for people, including throwing an estimated 11.8 million souls off Medicaid. 3) His tax-cut bill will add an estimated $3.5 trillion to the debt, which will (ostensibly) be paid for by the average American taxpayer. 4) His tariffs obviously are a tax on the American consumer - largely paid by the average person who is not rich. He has not only conducted a massive transfer of wealth from the average American to rich Americans ...... he has actually conned his group of MAGAphile voters into rabidly supporting all of this. When we look at what Donald Trump stands for, and has stood for his entire life -taking for himself and getting someone else to pay the bill- it is pure genius! It is one of the greatest con jobs in American history! It had heretofore eluded my what a tremendous job he had done of conning people for his own ends. I had looked at each piece as just it's own little bit of economic stupidity. But when it all is put together - it's genius! (If screwing people for your own gain is the goal, of course. But we know with him that it is.) Edit; and just wait until he abolishes the Dept of Education and ends special education services and student loans, among other things, for so many of the average people in his base. And they love him for it.
