Despite Mad King Donnie's repeated pushes to pass his “big, beautiful budget bill,” House Republicans abruptly postponed a vote late Wednesday when they were unable to convince conservative GOP holdouts who had raised grave misgivings over allowing trillions of dollars in tax breaks without deeper spending cuts.

Speaker Moses Johnson almost dared the Republican hardliners to defy Trump and risk his wrath.

BTW, Mad King Donnie also wants a $1 Trillion military budget -- need the extra money for those military parades, 'course.

S'okay, though, his tariffs are going to pay down the national debt.

Well, he said so.

Cha-ching -- money in the bank.

Probably. But no one on your team can do math. So it's a question of whether the budget hawks dig their heels in or not (probably not...politicians have become cowards, with a few notable exceptions). They capitulated on this round, but the BBB may be another matter. It's mathematically impossible to do everything MAGA wants.
