Also, to address the implicit selfishness of your question - you as an individual don't get to cherry-pick what gets funded. Some people don't want to support war, some people don't want to support sugar subsidies, some people begrudge news and culture programs. But you don't get to choose.

Too late.

The resident lefties have really been underwhelming us with their latest attempts to justify their TDS. This has got to be one of the worst attempts I've seen yet. Debt is bad... If your skin happens to be orange I guess. That's pretty much all you got, right op?

Trump's dirty money trail is why he does not want his taxes released. Remember when he said he would release his taxes after the election was over?

Just another lie from a pathological liar.

He pays it faster than 99% of people paying their debts ... Obviously that is a problem for liberals...

Also, Trump owes Tens of millions to the Bank of China. This is why we should never have a president that is in debt to other countries. It affects the way he deals politically with these countries. Also strange he never talks badly about Putin. I think there is a money trail there.

You mean untrustworthy that the vast majority of his real estate projects, which are ALL separate corporations, succeed and made him a Billionaire. That trustworthiness? Do you know anything about business and/or commercial real estate?

So you think carrying debt by a business is unusual?

Yes being president is expensive I wonder how those other presidents got so rich so quick in that job?

No, he doesn't. You are out of date on your TDS talking points.
