It’s ok to pull Medicaid from the innocent children but not teach the farmers a lesson for their vote and give them a handout instead. 🤬

Trump should give everyone in America a $2000/month payment as some type of ‘universal’ income for ‘basic’ needs and use the money from the tariffs to pay for it.

- That or use his Sovereign Wealth Fund* idea similar to how Alaska uses theirs and make it a basic UBI program. Unfortunately, this is Trump we are speaking of so he will just pocket everything instead.
  *Sovereign Wealth Fund in a country with significant debt? Very interesting, lets see how it plays out
