And the only ones who still support him are the complete wackjobs who literally nobody else would hire like Rudy Giuliani.
General Trump will fix the border again. Its coming.

Donald Trump has written a column about how he will deal with the Biden border crisis.
His plans go beyond finishing the wall. Trump plans to use multiple government agencies to deal with this problem.
This is obviously one of the many reasons why the left is so desperate to prevent him from being reelected.
Here’s an excerpt from Trump’s column, via the Des Moines Register:

Biden and his party have allowed our country to be invaded and it is completely intentional. If Americans want to see the border secured, there is only one choice in 2024.
Nobody benefits from an unnecessary tax plan that just made the top 1% richer at a cost of $2 trillion. You see, you can't give away the farm like that unless you cut spending to account for it but instead, he spent like a drunken sailor. As a result of that fiscal irresponsibility, it will cost us all in the future because it will need to be paid back....which Republicans won't allow because they won't get on board with raising taxes....so we're basically screwed if they regain power. There's a video out there now of him telling some rich donors at Mar-a-lago a few weeks back that he will cut their taxes again. You can't make this shit up.
Who do you think should pay more taxes?
If you have to pick one - raise taxes or cut spending?
At this point, you'd have to do both as we've crossed the Rubicon now and it will require all of us to feel some pain if we are serious about addressing it. And spare me the rant about it costing you more than others because that's not what I want to do, but it is a reality.
Ok, but who should pay more?
Look, I’d be open to a conversation about surgical tax increases to target people legitimately not paying their fair share. Closing loopholes, messing with the tax code, etc. Or even a look at the effective tax rate curve and identify where it begins to break favorably for certain income levels.
But those income levels are nowhere near where the dems want to increase taxes. And there is no math-based, logical argument that suggests someone paying a 25%++ effective rate is not paying their fair share while most of the country is paying single digits or nothing at all.
There is no substance in that argument other than it’s a small group with minimal voting power, so we will use bitterness as a tool to attract voters. Tax the rich!
All those things are legitimate considerations but it seems pretty simple to me. The tax cuts mostly benefitted those who were already better off than others and it was fools gold since it all has to be paid back. Why should those who benefitted the least be more liable for paying back the debt your windfall created than those who barely benefitted at all? The economy was already in great shape when he passed the act so it wasn't something we really needed, but since you made out like a bandit, why shouldn't you be more responsible for paying it back?
I didn’t make out like a bandit. Even under Trump’s tax policy, I paid an enormous amount of taxes last year and will again this year. Paying 25-30% in effective federal income tax plus Medicare surcharges, FICA, state, etc is hardly a windfall. I got a nominal reduction due to the policy that helps my family a bit and ever-so-slightly narrows the chasm between me paying well over my fair share and most people not contributing anything meaningful.
We should be laser focused on reducing spending. Compliment that with very surgical tax changes intended to address this actually not paying their fair share. Not to scratch the itch of bitterness in the larger voting block.
She's not afraid of what will happen to Barack but she is terrified for this country because this bastard is sick.

Well she should be afraid of what will happen to Barack. He needs to be held accountable for his actions.

Now we know why they are the highest paid accounts, because they tell the truth.
That's freaking great. @TigerGrowls is furiously typing about the Jimmy Kimmel show uses fake magnets, or switching the water.
The problem with "Surgical tax changes" is that the surgeon is subjective and biased. Always will be.
Why not a flat tax? Or a consumption tax?
I’d love either. But I don’t think those will ever happen. Closing a few loopholes and shifting the brackets and maybe adding another bracket at $5m or so could actually happen.
The problem is that nobody on either side will even attempt actual tax code reform. We(the electorate) have made it anathema for our politicians to actually work together. We demonize those that attempt anything bi-partisan, which is what allows them to do absolutely nothing,while staying in office for decades.
We have to start demanding our politicians actually accomplish stuff. When the Republicans failed to present anything to replace Obamacare, after years of screaming about how awful it was I knew we were in an extremely untenable position long-term.
To give credit where it’s due, Trump did get actual tax reform passed. The adjustment to standard deduction, removal of marriage penalty and spreading/reducing the tax tiers were very very good improvements.
He missed by not pairing it with things like substantial spending reductions and not limiting stock buy-backs as part of the more favorable corp tax treatment.
Whoever is president, they should retain the items in the first paragraph after 2025. They should then aggressively pursue spending reductions, close loopholes and if they are hell bent on raising taxes somewhere, focus that on people who could mathematically be considered as not paying their fair share.
Who among us has not used a mob hitman who confessed to nineteen murders as a character reference?
