I may have missed it, but has anyone asked this tangerine buffoon to show his work? How does anyone believe this will bring in trillions? What data or evidence are they using to justify those numbers or any bogus claim that it will help the US. I dunno if it's irony, but in this instance facts don't care about your feelings. Unless they have some hard evidence then it's just this travesty of an administration governing by their feelings.

A political party outright said their stance is "anti-science" and against truth and facts.

And then half the voters were like "yup, sounds good".
