Pretty much his choices have been to screw over the average American working/middle class and working poor, and destroy federal support systems needed by average American citizens... and make the super wealthy a ruling class unto their own. An oligarchy as it is called. Prepare to be wage slaves who never make enough to keep their heads above water. Running a corporate business, and running a COUNTRY are two different things. There are similarities, but they are very different when it comes to beneficial results for corporate profits vs the well-being of ALL citizens.

The Democrats did that already, so they didn't vote for them again. Democrats lost more minorities than ever in election history this cycle and why? Most of them said that they all had more money under Trump. Remember, it's always about the economy, always.
Yes, and it seems that over the last year, every other country has gotten richer under this admin. and Americans have become poorer.
By the way and speaking of wage slaves, Myorkas and Wray never told the American people where are the 350K illegal children that went missing. Where are they? They just vanished under this admin. watch and they shrug their shoulders and say, they don't know?
This is why you want a businessman to run the country, it seems liberal government lawyers are not good at it. Look at California and NYC, look what Dems did to these two beautiful cities
Nope, No thank you, especially voting for a woman that never ran anything and never understood the private sector.

Yes, and those minority crossovers is what helped Trump secure a victory. Beautiful!

Those are great numbers for a Republican!
Trump won the election, that’s why all his picks should be confirmed to get in and start implementation of his agenda.

And his views changed and evolved, it happens
Not really, as he has the same financial economic as Trump and he love’s tariffs. It’s a win, win.

You mean he has the habit of being beholden to richer oligarchs like Musk, Soros and Thiel?

No, I meant what I said, he has the financial and economic means.
