I unreservedly support Donald Trump in 2024. But when he was president, he didn’t veto a single major spending bill. Like Biden and all the rest, Trump didn’t give a damn about the deficit. Spend, spend, spend.

Should we give Trump (and the other presidents) a pass because these spending bills contained good things too? No. That’s where the buck stops. Every president has failed us in this regard.

Perhaps Trump 2.0 will be better, and he try to rein in the spending. We shall see.

It won’t be easy. The Wall will have to be finished, and the military rebuilt, also the Strategic Petroleum Reserve refilled And that’s just some of the things I can think of off the top of my head.

Pray to God he gets the chance. They’ll do anything to prevent him from being president again.

No he won't. Not that it matters because if I have to guess, there's a 10% chance that Trump will be able to beat Biden next year.

The Republican leadership in Congress are a big part of the problem.

I can’t recall a president ever vetoing a budget. When was the last time?
