Finally, we have a socialist president!
He knows how many pencils and dolls your kids need.
He has raised taxes on everyone.
He has singlehandedly kneecapped the net worth of many billionaires.
I don't understand why you are still bellyaching.

"He has singlehandedly kneecapped the net worth of many billionaires"
Lol, I watched the clip of Trump and his billionaire buddies, right after Trump
had let them know that he'd be delaying tariffs, the one where he went around the
room bragging about how many hundreds of millions, or even billions $ had just been
made by the people in the room acting on his inside info tip.
In the great trade pact ( sarcasm ) he is negotiating with the UK, notice he carved
out tariff exemption for Rolls Royce, and other luxury model makers.
Quick google search:
"Yes, in the new US-UK trade deal, Rolls-Royce, along with other British luxury carmakers like Aston Martin and Range Rover, received a tariff reduction. Specifically, the tariff on British automobiles was reduced from 27.5% to 10% for the first 100,000 vehicles. Additionally, Rolls-Royce jet engines, used on Boeing 787 passenger jets, were exempted from tariff"
So the billionaires are doin just fine under Donnie boy.
But you're spot on with the rest of your post, lol, I like it.

He has singlehandedly kneecapped the net worth of many billionaires.When did this happen?
The collective wealth of U.S. billionaires increased dramatically after Trumps 2017 tax cut.
For example, the wealth of the richest 748 Americans rose by 77% an increase of $2.2 trillion since the law’s enactment.
By 2023, U.S. billionaires were worth $3.6 trillion more than before the law passed.
During Trump’s first term alone, U.S. billionaires gained $1 trillion in wealth, with the top 50 billionaires collecting 80% of that gain.
"The evidence shows that the top 1%, especially billionaires, became much richer under Trump, due to both direct tax cuts and broader economic trends that disproportionately benefited the wealthy.
The tax policy changes enacted during his administration significantly increased the wealth gap between the richest Americans and the rest of the population."

If you want to see Trump's vision for the future of the US you need look no further than Putin's Russia. A kleptocratic oligarchy. A big FU to Trump's idiotic MAGA followers.

Here is a piece of advice that will help you from constantly looking like a complete idiot.
Every time you think you should discuss politics, you should really take a close look at what you want to say and carefully consider what exactly you are going to say and why you are saying it. Maybe do your homework first. Maybe also consider use better sources of information.
For example, you couldn't accurately describe what liberals, Democrats, or socialists want if your life depended on it. The reason you fail so much is you use sources of information that brainwash you. Here is a clue, Fox news won't tell you what liberals and Democrats think. They will tell you an outrageous distortion of what liberals and Democrats think in order to get you all worked up. It is called outrage TV. They don't care if it makes you look like an idiot when you parrot their words in more informed company. Their goal is to invoke outrage in you so you continue to use them as a source.

Even the <sarcasm/> tag didn't work.
Well, at least we know the reading comprehension level of the various posters.
BTW upthread re Trump helping billionaires, true. But I am 90% sure his disastrous tarriff flip flops will tank the stock market again. Lots of billionaires (tech, for example), have most of their net worth tied to their stocks.

Yeah I'm not going to do any of that. I was told that one of the advantages of being an adult is you don't have to do homework. So deal with it.
And please try to understand humor, and sarcasm, and in general, the lighter side of life. Of course to do that, you need to get a life first.
