It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices.
At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

not overthinking at all. this is 100% what will happen
This may be overthinking it but I think these are two sides of the same coin. They know their budget math is insane and DOGE is an attempt to create fake cover for it. They’re gonna say “DOGE saved 2 trillion dollars now the budget math works!”
NEW: Despite DOGE, Trump's agenda calls for adding trillions of dollars to U.S debt
