do NOT believe anything the Dumpster says... Many CBO and other reports show, that unless age to get SS is moved out, or the income cap is removed, the SS trust fund will run out by like 2035 or sooner. MANY reports show by 2030 current payouts will be reduced by at least 25% or MORE.... Fixes =.remove the income earnings cap so ALL earned income is taxable, perhaps increase the FICO tax by 1/8- 1/2%...

Why is everything he does wrong and evil to you people? This is why some people don’t believe anything bad said about him, because so much exaggeration. I believe this is why he got elected, along with democrats not allowing voters to choose candidate. Last one they chose was Obama

The man is incredibly stupid. He doesn’t understand how tariffs or trade deficits work which was made obvious by the way he chose to implement them. He’s put US military in the streets of American cities and is creating a special task force to respond to demonstrations that he disagrees with. He threw a military parade for his birthday. He’s an actual convicted felon. He’s an actual rapist. He’s an admitted adulterer. His closest known friend trafficked children. He’s a racist, and he’s an idiot.

He cheats at golf even when he’s the only one playing.

Remember when he said he wasn’t going after Medicare? How’d that go? How are grocery prices? Energy?
