Summary

Donald Trump’s allies, including Elon Musk and John Paulson, are advocating sudden, unspecified spending cuts, likely targeting healthcare and social programs if Trump wins.

Despite strong economic performance under Biden, Trump’s agenda could double the national debt, raising taxes for most Americans while benefitting the wealthy. His policies may cut essential programs, lowering living standards in the short term.

Trump’s campaign has been a bait-and-switch, promising economic restoration while hiding the dire consequences of his proposals.

    They are going to keep the guns thing wide open as long as elections are a thing. Once they’ve gotten to a place where they’ve cemented their power in a way where voting doesn’t really matter anymore, they’re gonna take ‘em away right fucking quick.

      Bingo. There are very few that understand this. Conservatives feel safe and liberals think guns will be a free for all. Both groups are morons.

      As you said, if Trump gets in, they’re taking the guns from all of us. Ironic that our gun rights are safer under a Harris administration.
