The unions for federal employees are urging the members not to go accept deals for buyouts regarding their jobs. They're filing lawsuits last I checked.

This Trumper is extremely happy with what Trump has achieved so far. He has more than met my expectations, which were already very high to start with.

This administration is different from the previous ones. Unlike previous administrations, Trump and Musk don't need or want to loot taxpayer funds to set themselves up for life. Their incentive is to have a booming economy where they can develop real estate and invent stuff.

So Trump and Musk go after USAID first, because it is the head of the snake - a slush fund used to steal taxpayer money for so-called public servants to enrich themselves.

These public servants get federal funds hidden in massive legislative bills that nobody bothers to read, and distribute those funds to their own companies (or their friends' companies) and to Wall Street firms to pay themselves a million dollars to give a silly speech or sign a deal on a book that no one cares about. Then they get to retire as multi-millionaires with vacation homes and huge stock portfolios in spite of their modest salaries.

All Trump and Musk have to do is shed light on the nonsense going on in USAID and let the ridiculousness reveal itself.

Watch which politicians try to defend spending $1.5 million on "empowering women to adapt to climate change in northern Kenya." Those are the folks who are involved with this slush fund, so they have to defend the indefensible to avoid going to jail. And they will go to jail, all of them, Democrat or Republican or otherwise.

Way to go Trump, way to go Elon. Drain the swamp. All of it.


Edit: Make no mistake. There will be a market crash and a massive economic recession in the second half of this year. The sooner Trump and Elon finish cleaning up the public sector the sooner they can jumpstart the economic recovery.

Sweet summer child, the repubs don't fix the economy, they just trash it. Moreover, elon & the gang will use the recession to fatten their wallets even more, so there is no incentive to prevent another great depression from coming full force.

Chinese (and it's respective diaspora) no doubt love trump. By closing USAID china can fill the hole and be seen as savior all over the (third) world. By siding full force with israel the usa lost any rights to berate them for kicking the Uyghur around. By reigniting the trade war with china they have a boogeyman like cuba has had for more than six decades.

I must say, this almost sound like sarcasm or even satire.

Though, normally, a Trumper is some crazy idiot in Lala-Land, but at least this means they might not actually believe in Trump but are just trolling and cheering him on, which is a lot more easier to wrap you head around

I am more annoyed to know that all that charity money was used to line up pockets of some parasites, like a gender studies graduate Karen, because my father actually believed it would help his country, Cambodia.

USAID to Cambodia, like many countries is masked.

Sometimes the real purpose is to prop up governments that are sympathetic to the US.

Whether that aid is gong to the current prime minister's party or a opposition party, is something that I can not guess. Perhaps someone more familiar with Cambodian politics could enlighten us.

This is pretty funny. If anything, Hun Sen is the one people need to look at.

USAID in SEA provide assistance to NGOs for healthcare and in some case, independent media to counter heavy handedness of pro-government media. Cambodia once again.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/...southeast-asia

https://www.voanews.com/a/cambodia-s...t/7712852.html

If anything, USAID not being around is allowing China (and other unsavory people) to muscle in. I'd rather not see that happen, given what they're doing lately.

Old news within a few weeks. There's a NYT report that a Jan 6. rioter who got pardoned is being sought out for soliciting a minor.

Are Trumpers fine with the picture of Musk towering over a sitting Trump while Musk's kid picks his nose beside Trump?
That's literally the furthest thing from big macho bullying Trump that you guys believe and love, right?

Of course they are! There are two types of trump supporters, those that cheer him as they see the USA descend into chaos (please remember, in the early 20th century for a lot less Argentina reverted from a 1st world country back into the 3rd world and never has recovered said status) and those that are part of the cult, that will bend backwards to justify their leaders and attack anyone that dare to criticize them.

Of course there is a third category, those who have left the cult and start speaking truth to power, but those are no longer trump supporters.
