I keep thinking about those paycheck to paycheck “price of eggs” Trump voters who picked a billionaire to appoint other billionaires who are going to make their food less safe & more costly, their medication harder to get, their overtime nonexistent and their healthcare coverage a thing of the past.

Trump is telling us that he’s going to fire hundreds of thousands, deport tens of millions, kick tens of millions off their healthcare & cut hundreds of millions in social programs and Ma and Pa MAGA STILL believe all of this shit is going to help them in some fucking way.

Narrator: it’s not.

Total control
If Trump aims to turn America into a police state, these are the officials he will utilize. After only 10 days as president-elect, he appears to be on his way.

Trump has apparently selected a Fox News host to be Secretary of Defense. Tom Hegseth encouraged Trump to pardon American soldiers convicted of killing innocent civilians during his first term in office. www.businessinsider.com/pete-hegseth...
Fox and Friends' co-host Pete Hegseth convinced Trump to consider pardons for troops accused of war crimes
Trump appears to be listening to a Fox News host about pardoning convicted war criminals, but a general said pardons would send a "bad message."

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit.

But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%.

It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.
New analysis by CAPAF provides rough estimates of who benefits and shows that Trump’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate down to 15 percent would: Give the largest 100 U.S. companies (the Fortune 100) a total estimated annual tax cut of $48 billion. They reported $1.1 trillion in profits in their last annual report. Give 10 of the largest U.S. companies alone, including Meta, Comcast, and JPMorgan Chase, a total estimated annual tax cut of $23 billion. They reported more than $520 billion in profits. Give the five largest U.S. oil companies—Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum/ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, and Valero Energy—an annual total estimated tax cut of $2.5 billion. They reported more than $90 billion in profits. Give the five largest drug makers—Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer, AbbVie, and Bristol Myers Squibb—an annual total estimated tax cut of $3.1 billion. They reported over $50 billion in profits. Give five of the largest Wall Street banks—JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs—an annual total estimated tax cut of $4.1 billion. They reported nearly $113 billion in profits. Give five of the largest grocery companies—Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart—an annual total estimated tax cut of nearly $1.7 billion. They reported over $29 billion in profits.
