Well come back to who’s crying once Trump enacts a few of the Project 2025 agendas.

 

 

 

 

Ah! Project 2025 again. Ok so give us some examples of what it is from Project 2025 that Trump will enact. If you're not willing to do that then it's time to stop going on about it. Of course Trump claims no ownership or involvement with Project 2025.

It is a "grift". 

 

Donald Trust loves money, wants money, needs money. Money is central to his whole personality, as a super wealthy man, with all the trappings, as a magnificently successful businessman with the absolute midas touch (!) and that in turn feeds into his political life. The Presidency itself doesn't bring a lot of money, expenses paid, relatively modest salary, nice house, but not money, the money he loves, wants, needs.

 

Elon Musk has money, an awful lot of it.

It is a grift.

 

Ramaswamy may bring some initial political legitimacy.

A mere emoji is not sufficient to reply to that, so here you go.

 

:passifier:

A mere assertion that MAGA must investigate government waste and inefficiency is a means for MAGA to manipulate government agencies into beneficial waste for MAGA individuals. No specificity as one might expect from MAGA.

Here is the present situation on government waste and inefficiency. It has been operational for some time.

(sorry this requires reading)

Types of waste in federal programs and strategies to address it:

  • Programs may be vulnerable to waste due to mismanagement of assets.
  • Personnel may engage in wasteful practices by not following policies and statutes.
  • Program officials do not always establish adequate oversight procedures.
  • Improve asset management capabilities. 
  • Ensure that officials know and adhere to policies and statutes.
  • Develop adequate oversight procedures. For example: Ineffective software asset management increases the likelihood of waste.

Trump and Musk would have you belief there is nothing in place. But apparently POTUS #45 had no issues during his last term.
