「トランプのワシントンを完璧に映し出す鏡」
リンカーン記念館のリフレクティング・プール改修工事は、トランプ政権の象徴だ。安価な迅速な修理を約束しながら、実際には入札なしで1400万ドル以上に膨れ上がり、「アメリカ国旗ブルー」に塗り替えられたが、完成直後に塗装が剥がれ藻で緑色に変わった。これはトランプ的手法の縮図であり、壮大な宣言、派手な外見上の改修、政治的に繋がりのある業者への発注、そして即座に他人のせいにする失敗というパターンを完璧に示している。

A post criticizes the first flight of "Qatar Force One," claiming a foreign government gifted the sitting US president a $400 million plane, US taxpayers paid at least another $400 million to retrofit it, and ownership will transfer to his presidential library.

A tweet claims that 9 out of 12 industrialized countries that implemented a wealth tax have since repealed it, including France, citing that billionaires relocate to avoid the tax, leaving a hollowed tax base. The post argues this has already partly occurred in California and warns that a proposed California wealth tax would be catastrophic.
In 1913, the US national income tax began as a 1% rate that affected less than 1% of Americans. A century later, roughly 70% of Americans pay income tax, with top rates reaching 37%. The post draws a contrast as politicians propose a new wealth tax.
Rep. Thomas Massie criticizes former President Trump for bragging about pressuring a private company to give the government a 10% ownership stake, asking why free-market advocacy groups have not condemned the action.
