It's all about priorities. Trump wants splashy, expensive symbols to supposedly show power while ignoring the glaring needs of the people. No expense is too great to satisfy his whims regardless of the effect on us.

Meanwhile, people are dying, people are suffering, families are hurting, planes are not reaching their destinations....etc, etc, etc. But thank God more of our tax dollars are going to this incredibly ridiculous and NOT needed "DOME". One day these assholes will have a moment where they will have to face their families, their conscience, and maybe, if they have a fake religious label, their makers.

His base may love the idea now, but when they can’t afford food, and are living in a cardboard box they will have no one to blame but themselves

This "golden dome" reminds me of golden showers. Coincidence? Pissing on us all and telling us it's raining.

[blushing] I must reveal that was my own first thought. I sometimes wonder if he also collects black-velvet paintings of Elvis.

Everything he does is just plain nuts. He has no one in the WH who is qualified, including himself to be there. He is stopping programs that help our people and county. He is doing so many corrupt things, way too many to list, to enrich himself. He lies constantly and so many people believe him. Has our country got so many liars, that these people only believe lies, because that it what they have become, liars themselves. He has zero respect from so many people. Some people say how caring he is and how he really listens. I say to those people - why are you listening to his lies? Does a caring person who only lives in the WH part-time make it about only bad things, or does that person really care about our Country? If you haven't been paying any attention, I'd advise you to listen up and pay attention. Look at what is really going on. I'd like to ask you, how much money did you make off of his grifts? How are you doing with putting food on your table? How are you paying all of your bills? Are you able to save any money? What about vacation plans? No, we are not doing better as a country. The poor are getting poorer and the middle class might be joining the poorer class, while the rich are getting richer and using you.

This should be the commercial they put on TV telling the real truth, instead of that bullshit one now saying America is great with the ending of a picture of dumb ass embarrassment so called president

This is about the most unoriginal plan I've ever heard: reinventing the sainted Ronald Reagan's Star Wars initiative. How'd that work out? And of course it's "golden"--could we expect any less? LOL

I presume Trump believes the Golden Dome is actually a physical golden presence that he can see with his eclipse-damaged eyes. I further presume the fox pelt dome cover was presented from RFKookie's personal road kill collection he keeps in a freezer for convenience.

t-Rump isn’t going to tax the rich to pay for his “ shrine “ so he either must issue bonds to borrow the money ( would you lend your money

to the US Treasury for this ? I suspect European’s won’t )

Or - cut other programs . Other programs place the target squarely

on Social Security and Medicare

because the scope of a scheme like this can’t be financed by cutting school lunch costs etc.

Maybe mid eastern oil tycoons will

buy our bonds - then we shall see who owns the “ Land of the free

and the home of the debtors “

Please add - if you actually have any money to lend after purchasing food and paying the rent - would you buy bonds ?
