Better than Biden would do. He would give all 500 billion to Ukraine.

Your taxes, straight into the pockets of Sam Altman and Larry Ellison.

Trump is an investor, not a president.

No, he isn't. He's a scam artist and a con man. Always has been,and barely ever hid it.

We could do a lot for climate change, world hunger, homelessness, disease prevention and eradication, and so on with that much money.

All of these people are doing mass murder via opportunity cost, and I hope they pay for it.

No, we must first further enrich Larry Ellison. The man clearly doesn't have enough money.

Big Tech dug a trillion dollar money pit, so obviously now their stooge has to fill it up with your money.

Watch them get rid of 22nd ammendment before project 2025 is done.

I've been worrying about that for a while now.

500 billion.... of H1B1 visas. Great work, MAGAs.

They're building an AI Stasi.

When has AI been for the benefit of the people more then a trinket to toy with.

It will benefit companies to streamline workflow (replace employees) and lock in patents at an alarming rate. Calling "First!" will cement decades of profit.

Oh, and don't forget behavioral training. You thought invasive ads were bad now...

Fun times ahead! 😁
