Cool. Orange needs to return to pre covid spending levels and start working on grocery prices. Trump spends at the same level as Obama and Biden. We don’t have a revenue problem we have a spending problem.


Orange needs to keep doing what he’s doing and not worry about what ronricks thinks. Spending is also down and Congress controls the purse.

So the deficit went down and you want him to change course when you care about spending?

I’m not sure you thought this through.

As yes the tariff revenue is the reason the fed deficit dropped. Don’t tell Roger or the other tariff haters

Do you guys not have memories?

It wasnt long ago they told us all the plan to reduce the debt was cutting rates and tariff revenue.

Well it seems the latter part works.

What does that have to do with we have a spending problem?

Or do you believe we don’t have a spending problem?

The Supreme Court will increase the deficit when they rule against the tariffs and order refunds.

GTFO with this rational take.

POTUS is the foreign policy agent for the States. He has done very well in that regard.

I would like to see him crack down on the 3 letter agencies at the federal level.

Any frustration is not of his making.

I'm incensed (but not surprised) the the Congressional GOP essentially cock-blocking him regarding legislation (SAVE Act) and moving/confirming nominees.

I understand. And like I said, I agree with almost everything he's done that happens to actually be within his power.

I can throw a bunch of praise at our current President and I do, often. Where he "fails" the biggest, is between his self-inflicted gaffes and where he has to rely on Congress. I mean, a GOPe-controlled House and Senate have almost completely stalemated codifying the Trump agenda and his second term is already 25% over.

He's not perfect. But 100% of the Congressional DNXi and 95% of the Congressional GOPe are absolutely worthless. It's infuriating. But it's just status quo and modus operandi. They want to stall until Trump is gone forever and return to business as usual.

My biggest issue has been the lack of justice for people, although Venezuela was tied into our voting machines and I have been told grand juries are already up and running, as well as the atrocious communication at times.

But on results? I’m as happy as I can be. Again; I’d love to see a immigration black out for a decade but I know I must take what I can get

Isn’t gas like 8 or more a gallon in Cali?

Meanwhile most of us in the southeast are paying anywhere between 2-3 I’d imagine.

Not currently. Thursday I got it for around $5 a gallon in Orange County.

Republicans in Congress need to start cooperating, but Trump also threatens their corruption.
