Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”

      It’s too late for that. Everyone is finding the exit for the USD as the reserve currency. That loss of soft power alone is seismic.

          Nope, it is. There is no reason anyone should trust the USD as a reserve currency. Even if Trump is impeached, Vance is impeached, and everyone down the line of succession is impeached until you get someone who isn’t MAGA, it’s still too late. It’d just be highlighting how unstable the US political system has become. Nobody wants to keep their reserve money in a system like that.
