Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary in Trump Admin and ex hedge fund manager of George Soros's investment operations, explains to Americans that "access to cheap goods" is NOT the "American dream":
American’s were experiencing the American dream in the 1950’s and 1960’s when the wealthy were paying up to 91% in income taxes. The wealthy didn’t like that and came back with a vengeance.
And he said gas prices are going to drop like a rock the day after the midterms, ( probably on our head ) and if we vote for him everybody gets $5000 . I’m going to keep mine with the last $5000 we got. (If I can only remember which rock I hid it under for safekeeping, almost 1/4 done checking my backyard that I named the quarry . Too bad all them damn rocks look alike!
"... Nearing the end." If only. Unfortunately we have at LEAST two more years of the orange antichrist to go, assuming (and we all know the old saying about the word ASSUME) he won't be able to finagle an illegal third term. We all know too that he has never cared for legalities. He's a 34 times convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist as well as a pedophile.
It's easy to see how he bankrupted himself so many times when he didn't have the government piggy bank to draw from. Now he's like a kid who can have everything he wants on someone else's dime, and he wants everything he sees. Any bets on what the deficit is going to be when this clown leaves office??
What a sad, sorry mess we have for a government right now....all three branches included. Can we sink any lower??
- a Google is bigger than a quintillion, but that would make even Trump's followers' minds boggle. Ten to the Google power is a googleplex. This will not be on the quiz, however.
What may seem like lies may just be stupidity or non-educated positions. Yes, it is a fact, our country's sad reality, that Donald lies - and lies a lot. But in some rambling remarks he shows just plain ignorance. We all know he was a bad student from grade one through college, and as we listen or read his remarks (they are never speeches) we instantly know he is just plain ignorant of the facts.
So, let's assume that we each get the $5,000 Trump promised if Repubs win. When you break down the word "assume" it means making an ASS out of U and ME. Because this payment is illegal. It has not been approved by Congress and it will add about a trillion more to the debt. Now consider this.....add up your rent/ mortgage increases, increases in food and utility bills, increases in Healthcare premiums and out-of-pocket expenses, along with increases in clothing, and other day-to-day expenses, and tell me what the amount is. I guarantee you it is much more than $5,000. So why would anyone put the idiots who authorized all of these increases back in office for a meer $5,000, even if it could be done. As always, Trump has no concept of math. He floats these numbers and thinks we're stupid.
Agreed. He has absolutely no intention on keeping this “promise”. However, for sake of argument, let’s pretend he somehow does. Would he even “reward” blue states with this money? Um, no! Only red states would receive this bribe.
But let’s get really delusional and say for fun that he does. I (from a blue state) absolutely would not cash that check. I’d shred it. And if he were to pay it in his crypto, no way would I accept it. And I’m not wealthy.
Scott Bessent really always is inappropriately smiley. My biggest fear now isn’t the economy. It’s that trump is providing the tipping point for another mass extinction.
Raise. He meant RAISE your prices by 50%. Because everything that comes out of Donald’s mouth is the polar opposite of what he says.
You bet it is. Trump has always been a liar, but he’s getting worse. He’s clearly out of his depth and other people are pulling his strings.
Exactly.

When he dies I’m putting a sign up that says’ thank you for your attention to this matter’
BRILLIANT !!!!
Love this idea!!

Thank you, Mary, for another great essay.....
I can't guess that high! (deficit)
I know.....what comes after trillion?? And, is there that much money in the world??
So sorry you’re related to him Mary.
quintrillion?
- a Google is bigger than a quintillion, but that would make even Trump's followers' minds boggle. Ten to the Google power is a googleplex. This will not be on the quiz, however.
Isn't there a quadrillion?
Yes.....quadrillion......
According to Google, the world's currencies add up to just under $150 trillion. (Could that be real???) After that, it's just a lot of debt.
yes
It's not someone else's dime it's Everybody's dime
....and a few good laughs!
Mary, your criminal uncle is 100th percentile stupid. As I have said many times before, he makes George W Bush look like George W Einstein.
We would give anything to have Bush back now
True. Who’d have thought that 18 years ago?

He is a LIAR.
Don't make any excuses for him!

Well, he got elected a second time. So he's right about some voters being stupid ..maybe they'll be smarter come November....
You are such an optimist, Bob, lol.

Where are those Epstein files…..?

Does anyone here think that Trump will not last his entire term?
Here's hoping. 🤞
We have hope
We akk hope not. I wake every morning hoping.
I believe he'll last, even if the oligarchs supporting him have to stuff him like Lenin.
Total fraud. Every molecule. Like a nation molester
Trump *is*, by definition, a molecule (I looked up the definition). I suppose that makes him a "fraudulent molecule."
A million molecules. A trillion atoms. More corrupt molecules than any organism in history.
That is his molecular composition, not what he is.
Thank you for Trump trolls trump yep he promised us money if we vote for him.
The self proclaimed stable genius never heard of affordability until he took office in 2025? That should tell you how genius and stable he is. F47!
Another enjoyable piece full of sarcasm with a side of reality check.
He desperate mor money he get on himself and ruin USA life with taxpayer
What?
More “R” LIES!!
THANKS! VERY well documented and useful. Sent on to every one of my appropriate contacts.
