About debts and charlatans
In his first 4 years, “the king of debt” promised to control the deficit and pay it down. Then he cut taxes, spent too much and watched at unprecedented levels. https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

What ‘winning’ means
Cutting childhood cancer research, allowing the uber-rich to invest in Chinese-based big tech and allowing United Healthcare to use pharmacy benefit managers to maximize profits. What’s not to love in MAGA’s support of big business? https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-21-2024
