Are you suggesting Trump sit on his hands until the 2026 budget is passed this upcoming September before looking into the massive amount of fraud and corruption which resides in Washington? The budget we're operating under was signed off on by a Congress where the Dems controlled the Senate and had the White House, let's not forget that. And while we're on the subject, why have countless requests by the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Oversight Committee about how taxpayer funds were being spent by USAID completely ignored by management if there's nothing to hide.

Trump has been in office for three weeks, he's doing exactly what he told the people who voted him in he'd do. I don't think anyone can or should be judged based on their actions of three weeks but it seems based on the latest CNN ultra conservative poll, 70% of Americans agree with his actions out of the gates which is one reason why, and let's be honest here, the Democratic Party is losing their minds.

There's a difference between soft power and influence peddling and outright wasteful ridiculous spending. Or we can ask the Biden family that question who seems to have influence peddling down pat. How about we give the current administration time to institute the changes 77 million American voters voted them into office to make. If you believe the Chinese are that far ahead of the US in International Governance, I'm sure there's plenty of places in Wuhan for rent.

Actually not true:
Bill Cilnton in 1998 had the federal budget balanced and a surplus of approx 70 billion.

57% of Americans agree with trump 1st 3 weeks but to your point it was 70% but 13% got deported so some buyers remorse there! Just kidding its 57% not bad

Think the democrats are certainly regretting some failed strategy but no one is losing their minds. Maybe they shouldn't have forced some senators to resign like AL Franken over a picture while republicans vote in an actual felon who screams law and order and then pardons insurrectionists that the founding fathers would have executed day 1.

Why bring up Wuhan rentals? makes no sense to his point?

Again why cant people be people and not labeled. I had some great years in business GWB, Obama (sweet years) Trump 1st term but my best was last year under Biden. As a business owner neither of them had anything to do with it mainly but the economy has been thriving since 2012, you just have to ingore politics and place your money where the economy dictates
