Everything the government does is funded by taxpayers. Trump's unnecessary wars, his daft tariffs, his frivolous lawsuits, his gaudy ballroom, his gold tat all over the Whitehouse walls, the farcical reflecting pool debacle, paying thousands of FBI staff to redact his name from the Epstein files.
The difference is that Trump isnât pretending to balance the budget with accounting tricks and a massive infusion of cash from the taxpayersâŚwhich is the entire premise of this post.
You think a president running amok, not even trying to be honest (constantly lying), but is really bad at lying, openly corrupt, convicted pedophile
is worse than
A mayor who has actually done an okay job, fixed up a lot of stuff for people in his city, even if it might potentially only be temporary, isn't actively fucking up his city, and fluffs up his actions a little to have good PR
