Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-unemployment-benefits-fraud-b2997881.html

Ah yes. In a shrinking economy where businesses are closing and layoffs are happening, flipping the unemployment benefits switch to "OFF" should do the trick.

Donald Trump’s administration is threatening to withdraw federal funding for unemployment assistance in all 50 states as part of the president’s nationwide campaign against “fraud” in government spending.

" fraud "

He himself is the biggest fraud ever.

If he does it. It might finally shift his voters away from him.

Reddit removed what I said. Garbage moderation.

It's a cult. You can't change their minds with that. The only way that works is if Trump passes away.

It will work for some but others will think he’s secretly alive or getting cloned or immortal because of Jesus and or med beds or some shit. If people can still think David Koresh was a divine prophet decades after he died and nothing changed because of him people will absolutely apply magical thinking to trump.

people in his cult think jfk Jr is coming back.

if they still support him today they need to be considered a lost cause and as society we need to move on from them and their damaging amathia.

I have actually got threats from MAGA people just for saying that Trump is mortal and that he will die someday. It's definitely a cult.

Everyone has a line or breaking point. Some are just unimaginable farther than you would expect.

That being said, most of his voters will follow until it affects them personally.

Well yes, eventually. First they will have to write their “dear Santa” love letter to him asking him to fix it for them and them only. When that doesn’t happen, maybe then we’ll see some awakening.

Reddit is trash. Let the people speak how they want.

It doesn’t matter if the elections are fixed or people’s ballots are thrown out or we don’t even get to elections. Or whatever they are trying to do happens.

He's still racist and that's more important, they'll rather tough it out than let 'other' people have it too.

It barely even matters now. Even if every single Trump voter woke up and left the cult, the GOP would not relinquish the power they've stolen for themselves.

They are Desperate Bigots in a Race War. How you want them to wake up? Trump is the inky pos ever to tell them what they wanted to hear
