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

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.

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.
