    Trump promises require GOP to back him up to ever get close to being implemented. GOP have always voted against bank regulation/extortion limiting. People earning tips are not big GOP donors, so fuck them. Taxes on SS are only paid by richest SS earners, but GOP have been going around on trying to get overall SS cuts.

    Any promise not Project 2025 is politician lip moving meant to bring Project 2025.

      Since trump’s party controls the entire gov right now he is going to be pissed when he learns he can’t blame his failures on the dems for most of the country.

        He absolutely still can, his voting bloc is full of low information voters that just want validation for the racist/misogynistic hate they feel

        Key dem senators were bribed to sabotage Biden’s climate and other agendas. Confirmations for any anti pharma/war cabinet picks are certainly bribable. Gaetz is no problem, even if fuss made, though. There is some hope that the stupidity of destroying EVs and IRA gets blocked. Spending $1T to deport millions is going to have lobbyists intervene too.
