So the progressive income tax would be replaced with a regressive consumption tax, enriching Trump's friends and impoverishing the remaining 99.9% of America? Is there a reason Reuters cannot report this story in that way, given that it's wholly factual and exactly what Trump is proposing right now?

Good luck, America.

You're gonna need it.

Immigrants from "third world countries" do all the jobs that Americans can't and/or won't do.

Seriously, the country will be further f'd for good, but white supremacy remains undefeated in self-destruction.

So, Hungary, which MAGA loves, will qualify as a third-world country now, right?

Orban's policies have devastated the country's economy and its poor AF.

Right?

This Thanksgiving, ICE fascists are arresting people in San Diego At Their Green Card Interviews!

These immigrants followed the law & did everything right—ICE is arresting them anyway.

It was never about law & order. It was always about fascism & white supremacy. Abolish ICE. Protect our Republic.
