Even worse than he already looks since he can't grow a beard.

Why are we being punished by these assholes?
We work hard, take care of our business and mind our own business. Why do we have to be subjected to these complete pieces of shit?

Then completely eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid but still collect the taxes and we will pay off the debt in about 30 years. And, no, I have not run the numbers on this.

he will divert that $2T to himself and friends. The money has already been allocated. It just won't go to the expected recipients, like agencies, departments, and such.

That will definitely allow Americans to decide for themselves if they want a certain program cut. It really could be good talking points for the Democratic Party if he actually does this.
