So, you’re against it? It doesn’t matter what he does, the Fake New’s will spin it. If this is your concern, Trump better not do anything.

No, but cut revenues by $1.2 trillion while keeping spending the same and what happens?

Exactly. People complaining CLEARLY have never seen a single one of these before, and need to sit down and catch up.
********************************

I see most. They are painful. And he has not improved one bit since day 1. I think pride is Trump's biggest flaw and it may cost this country our freedom. I think he thinks he knows everything about doing these the best and doesn't listen to anyone tell him differently.

Didn't you want to hear more from Dr. Atlas?

Wouldn't you love to hear Candace Owens every night talk about the atrocities being committed by black lives matter?

And wouldn't you love to hear Owen's or Atlas be allowed to go at it with the press and and express the truth and facts in an animated way Trump seems incapable of, at least at these pressers?

My only explanation is that his pride does not want to let him share the spotlight and it really bothers me. If you have a better explanation as to why Dr. Atlas is not allowed to take questions or someone like Candace Owens is not up there fielding questions about what's going on with black lives matter and exactly who they are then please tell me. Trump is an incredible man. But he is not perfect. And I only say these things because I want him,the United States and freedom to persevere.

Against running on a plan to end Social Security and Medicare, like the Democrats will paint this? Yes, I am against it. I want Trump to win and tromping on the third rail of American politics is not the way to do it.

If this is your concern, Trump better not do anything.

There is plenty Trump can do. Giving the Democrats a club to beat him with is not one of them.

He had Fauci and Birx and others speaking and fielding questions daily at these initial CVTF briefings! I don’t think it’s Pride.

You have it backwards but what the heck? Why not end all taxes completely? Wouldn't that guarantee a Trump win?

Just saw, on OANN, that Kamalala said Gov Gruesome Newsome would take her place, in the Senate, should she (heaven forbid!!) become VP.

Unreal, the insanity, out of that state.

I’ve had it with politicians making decisions based on fear! It never works! Time to deal with this crap head on! He can explain about the “lock box” having no money in it, and that SS, and Medicare will come out of the general fund.

The Fake News is going to lie no matter what.

Which now has $1.2 trillion less that it had with FICA and Medicare taxes. How do you pay for it?

No, I do NOT want to hear Candace Owens at the White House Presser. And we had months of doctors droning on and on with graphs, charts and numbers that was SO boring, we cried. And then they would take questions. POTUS has invited military guests and cabinet members to speak about a variety of issues. The Pressers ended and his numbers went down because people wanted to hear from their President during the crisis. So now he has resumed them. Some nights they are dull with the usual facts that we have already heard about (but important for first time listeners) and some nights there are announcements that make news. And most often there are fireworks when the press gets snarky. I think you are wrong about President Trump and his “pride” as you call it...he cares about Americans and it shows greatly.

Kind of a step down for Gavin, isn’t it? Anyway, I think there’s a chance that Cali could go red. Lots of rallies out there lately...I have hope!

“Economic growth.”

In other words, not a clue. Before Covid hit we had the best economy we have had in decades. Growth, unemployment, business, all were running at rates that were the envy of the world. Yet even with that we were projected to run a $1 trillion deficit. Cut FICA and Medicare taxes and your deficit becomes $2.2 trillion. How do you grow yourself out of that and how long do you figure it would take?

Yes, the White House Lawn with two hundred loyal followers seated out front would work nicely I think....and surely would be more secure.

And he did a pretty good job of explaining how Biden/Harris will destroy the suburbs should they get in power.

THAT fact needs to continue to be stressed.

Couldn't agree more... Trump, while confidently subdued, still managed to get in his jabs and more than few body blows. His manner leads me to believe he sees the suburbs as a crucial priority.

I really think security is a huge issue. Did you see the group that is “storming the White House” on Sept 17th?
