Rand Paul and Elon Musk are just saying out loud what President Trump is thinking but can’t say: This “big beautiful bill” is a giant stinking turd, but if it doesn’t pass, the alternative is that we get a huge hike and even more pork.
No President can stop the Legislature’s over-spending - that’s entirely on the Legislature.. all a President can do is use his bully pulpit to try and get the best deal he can get and focus on growing the economy with common sense deregulation, trade policy and executive orders. Buy some time. Win the midterms. Get more MAGA people in the Legislature.
I doubt he’s even one tiny bit angry with Rand Paul or Elon Musk for speaking the truth. He’s thinking the exact same thing.
Nope, still not impressed with someone who just complains when they are in a position to make a difference. He’s a Senator, he should do his job.
