...It gave him a mandate to kick the tires, check the dipstick, and make sure things are running well and efficiently. What Elon Musk is doing is way beyond any mandate that Trump could possibly claim."

In a response to the headline, yes. Yes we did!

[Vendome]

Yeah?

We sure as KcuF did not give the administrative to blow our hard earned taxed money on, fraud, inefficiency and DEI

The only way to make America great again is to root out all the corruption and put those responsible in jail. The right thing is being done, and as rapidly as possible.

So I say to that old goat, go to hell.

Democrats cannot stop Trump, only Republicans can. That is who we must keep our eyes on.

[MNJohnnie]

Yes they did. It exactly what he promised to do and it exactly what they voted for

[Frank Drebin]

I am sick of hearing the word 'mandate'. It's an infantile argument and it always ends up moving the 'goalpost' to favor whichever side is using it. Enough.

It's simple, Trump won the election based on what he said he wanted to do for the country over the next four years. He's going to do just that.

There is no second or double secret requirement he has to meet.

Corruption is not government.

Uh, it was actually President Lincoln who said that...

Hey Connolly, what do you think all that “drain the swamp” stuff meant?
