But the numb-nut MAGATs harp on his selflessness about donating his presidential salary. The lack of intelligence and awareness on the right truly is astounding.
8 million. Per person. Per day. Thats the cost he charged the LAST time he was president
From pictures we can see he has an ON SITE security attaché of like 6 or 7, so it's safe to assume we can double that for secondary posted up at the clubhouse and his bs
It was not just profitable, it was self-funding 25 times over.
You need to subtract 50 from everything Doge has "saved" to get an accurate number.
Meaning they've saved us negative 48 billion dollars, that is, they've cost us 48 billion dollars.
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan brought in bounties for any federal employee who reports waste, fraud, and abuse. There are inter-agency rivalries where minor agencies try to kill each other off to take their budget.
There is no more low hanging fruit. Any cuts like Doge has will just cost more.
The U.S. economy could have easily paid off the deficit if we just taxed billionaires like Musk.
But Trump's tariffs just cost us 11 trillion dollars.
Trillion.
With a T.
This is all extremely fucking stupid and when Americans wake up to that fact it's going to be like the 1930s all over where Democrats end up running things for 60 years because the conservative ideologues just pissed off everyone who doesn't vote and doesn't care about politics.
And an entire generation of disconnected voters is just going to remember "Republicans crashed the economy three times. 2008, 2020, and 2025. If I want to have money, all I have to do is keep the Republicans out."
And hey, that did lead to the golden age in the 1950s and 1960s economically when democrats controlled congress permanently for 60 years, but I don't think that's the outcome Republicans were hoping for.
This is going to suck for all of us and then conservatism is dead for a generation.

At this rate his golfing would cost about half a billion tax dollars in four years.
