President Trump assumes this stuff isnt bothering you, particularly his supporters. Well, is it?

Some bullet points for Trumpists to ponder:

• Trump said he’d protect Medicare and Medicaid. His budget cuts them by $1.5 trillion. Depending on the study, it also adds $2 trillion to $10 trillion to our national debt, while cynically dodging CBO scoring. After outrage at Obama’s deficits, lowered by two-thirds from when he took office, your silence is clamorous.

• You’re alone in a room. Jeff Bezos enters. The net worth in the room now averages $45 billion. Sarah “Huckayou” Sanders says the average tax break for families is four thousand bucks. Get it?

• Likely no one reading this benefits from eliminating the estate tax. Everyone in Trump’s politburo does; some, including Trump, by over $1 billion.

It isn't a 4K tax-break (faulty averaging set aside). We get the 4 thousand supposedly because businesses will raise salaries with all their exess capital. Hah!! They aren't required to, naturally.

We seem to think that those misinformed people from the hollows are the ones that put this gang-of-thieves into power.

The ones pulling the voting and media levers are not living in hollows unless you count Wall Street and the chasms of power.

We still talk about the dRump's base as if it were a bunch of Joe The Plumbers. His base are fellow multi-millionaires, and probably a few real billionaires (unlike the orange slush.)
