ERIC TRUMP on his dad calling for across-the-board 5% budget cuts as deficit approaches $1t: "You know who that is? That's a business guy. Right? 'I want 5%. And you know what, next year I want another 3%.' And There is a lot of fat. There is a lot of fat."

1. why don't they get rid of ICE, and end all funding for the Drug War

I bet that would be more than 5% right there.

5. They're liars

And pretty stupid floating this before elections. They're being bribed to pay their donors off from getting big campaign funding from them for permanent tax cuts forever. This is another issue that needs to be addressed ASAP, and reversed. When all is controlled by Democrats they need to take even more taxes from them then they were paying before their tax scam bill. Also SS changes need to include all pay their percentage of SS taxes, including from billionaires.

11. Was he dropped on his head as an infant? He always strikes me as being slow...

... or just a bit of a goofball. Barely capable of reciting things he's been told to repeat, but incapable of coming up with any thoughts on his own.
