What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Syt]

So their great plan is to mostly have unfunded tax cuts bar 12%?

Fiscal conservatism?

Just because it didn't work the last 3 times doesn't mean it won't work this time.

Combined with the Medicaid cuts and requirements that recipients will now need to be at work to benefit from it, it will truly make American Great Again.

No more freeriders!

This surprises you?

[Valmy]

Yeah. Elon could cut everything to the bone and the deficit and debt will still skyrocket.

Just because it didn't work the last 3 times doesn't mean it won't work this time.

And then blame "out of control spending" for it. Claim that economic growth will cover the deficit and then preside over an economic collapse. Let's do it again.

[The Minsky Moment]

The plan is awful that is no surprise.

But the biggest issue remains the existence of the statutory debt ceiling. We can't continue to have a situation where every time there is a budget standoff, we risk not only a domestic government shutdown but an international default on sovereign debt.

Why even have a debt ceiling? You just go through this charade every time. Might as well make it a ceremony with gongs and people in funny hats.

But I'm also feeling deja vu as I think we had also proposed the same for ceremonial around Brexit?

Probably

Being raised catholic and coming from a parliamentary system I'm partial to pomp and ceremony

And RFKjr has now been confirmed as health secretary.

[Tamas]

Reading Trump's comments on tariffs I am quite sure he still doesn't understand that those are paid by Americans when purchasing the given foreign good.

And RFKjr has now been confirmed as health secretary.

After the SecDef, it looks like all the votes are going by party-line -1 (Mitch McConnell).

Glad to see the Democrats not being entire punks.

Ultimately I am not sure it matters who gets into these positions...as it will almost always end up being a yes-man of some flavor, as the appointment will always come from the same source.  The more colorful they are, perhaps the more likely they will self-destruct in a glorious way.

For intelligence and Health I think it does matter.  Those two have agendas independent of Trump.
