Trump’s generosity with other people’s money
Donald Trump is very generous with other people’s money. He has bypassed Congress and doled out billions in no-bid contracts.
He gave $14 million of taxpayers’ money to his Florida neighbor to repair Washington’s reflecting pool, which he said could be done for $1.4 million. The neighbor botched the job so badly that the paint and sealant came off in less than two months. Is Trump going to pay his neighbor millions more to botch the job again or give another no-bid contract to someone else?
He promised Iran $300 billion from our Gulf allies without ever consulting them.
He wants to give defense contractors an extra $500 billion a year, which will add to the already massive deficits his party’s tax cuts and overspending created. Those deficits are driving up interest rates, which taxpayers, home buyers and businesses will have to pay.
Trump has been able to enrich his friends with taxpayers’ money because members of his party in Congress are acting deaf, dumb, and blind to his open acts of corruption. The time has come to rid Congress of those who care more about serving Trump than the American people.
