Deutsche Bank, one of Donald Trump's go-to lenders for all of his businesses, warned this week that the US economy is suffering "death by a thousand cuts" from Trump's policies and those of the rest of the Republican Party. All of these small cuts are causing a massive bleed that is sending our economy into a downward spiral, and not a single Republican seems to even care that they are doing this.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. became insanely irate during a Senate hearing this week when Democratic Senator Patty Murray asked him a simple question about who cut the funding for child healthcare programs. Kennedy first tried to blame Biden, then he viciously attacked Murray for doing nothing to stop diseases, and after he was reprimanded by the Chair of the Committee, he sheepishly admitted that his department cut the funding he was trying to deny was cut. The man is way over his head.
Republican governors and the Senators from their red states have resorted to begging Donald Trump's administration for federal assistance after they were ravaged by tornadoes over the last month. So far, the administration has not declared a federal disaster for any of the affected areas, which is preventing any FEMA officials or assistance from being deployed. Again, this is how Trump is treating RED STATES that put him in office - ignoring their cries for help after catastrophe.
Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday of this week that he doesn't want the "big beautiful bill" that Republicans are working on to benefit Democratic-controlled states because, as Trump put it, those states and the Democrats running them are ruining the country. He also falsely claimed that Red States are the ones making America great again, which is why they should reap all the benefits. The problem is that the Republican bill doesn't help ANY states - Red or Blue - but it does screw over Red States far more thoroughly.
