I seriously thought Trump would be less extreme when he got into office like Obama was.
I'm seriously stupid.
Good thing I live in the backwoods and I was a Girl Scout. I just need to become friends with somebody who knows how to hunt for food. I feel that civil war is imminent.
I'm not sure if you voted for him or not, but I feel like it's a cop out if people did, then come to that realization and take that attitude. Help clean up this mess, please. Personal freaking responsibility.
Also on topic, Trump has written some orders that will cost money, but none that will raise money. Are we in for the same thing as the last time the Rs had both houses and the presidency? It feels like a fair question, since there are some lawsuits pending (passed initial scrutiny) which suggest that Trump has previously spent other people's money to solve his personal problems.

They could go on another spending and tax cutting spree, and the Laffer curve has already exceeded the limits of its usefulness; everybody except Laffer knows that.
