Well, that’s what you think because you work for Putin.

Loyal Americans know that foreign aid was an investment in us not being slaves of Putin.

Completely irresponsible

The problem here is that Trump and Musk won’t be able to create any real savings doing anything people actually like.

Either they’ll help Joe Sixpack by killing grandmas and babies, or there won’t be a big new tax credit.

All that people will get from Trump-Musk is lies and jest.

Nitwit, he's refunding our tax dollars.

Christian nationalism everyone.

Better 8k to Americans then to Ukraine or Africa

Say goodbye to benefits of being an American if they try to send out $8000 checks to all Americans without Congress approving it.

The US is the world's reserve currency because people trust in the dollar and in the American system.

Sending Americans an 8000 check would shoot inflation through the roof. It would add even more to the deficit and completely trash international markets belief in the dollar or in the American system.

If you get a check for $8000 from Musk, use it to buy a flight out of the country.

Musk didn't say this, some idiot made it up and now it's all over MAGA internet. Almost like they're really gullible.

It sounds like the sort of thing they'd need/want to do to keep loyalty, though. They bought the first round of MAGA support by exploiting racism, sexism, anti-trans policies, etc. Their first wave of EOs was aimed at those things, making their base feel seen/valued.

But as the cuts and tariffs take effect, the impact on the MAGA base will be brutal, and the loyalty will wane. They will need to throw bread to their starving supporters, and this is what that might look like.

This would cost a trillion dollars.

$1.8 trillion roughly

Sounds like his second term is a failure then!
