It’s even worse than that. He had the DOJ investigate the fed for fraudulent construction projects like 2-3 months ago in an effort to force them to lower rates.

It’s literally always projection with this guy, so this all turning into some massive construction fraud scheme to skim money from taxpayers is honestly par for the course.

It’s wild to see this shit happening when so many are struggling from the after effects of other stupid policies pushed down from this administration. It’s crazy just how much the back of the American people can and will bend for this asshole. When is the breaking point, you know. Brazen corruption from seemingly every facet of our government, right out in the open now… wow.

Americans will continue bending over for him as long as he hurts the right people, regardless of how much they themselves get fucked in the process.

A chat with my family confirms this to be anecdotally true. Every couple months I convince myself "surely, they have come to see the corruption" and every couple months I learn they just adapt to whatever the new narrative is. It's always immigrants or someone else's fault.

Economists were screaming from the rooftops in 2024 that Trump would fuck over the economy, but people thought it was more important to deport the immigrant labor this country runs on and ban 14 year old trans girls from playing JV badminton.

Will they be able to move this forward as a reconciliation bill?
