So Trump has threatened to Defund Public Schools, Defund the Military, Defund the Post Office

Republicans say what?

Even though because he is so damn clueless, he doesn't even realize that much of the public school funding does not come from the federal government any damn way- but whatever- since he went there- whatever the feds fund, he wants to defund.

And there is no uproar? You can't make this shit up.

I think people have reached a point with Trump that he's already become a lame duck president. People no longer believe that he will do what he says, and are just waiting for his term to end. They recognize these are temper tantrums.

The GOP goes along with his tactics because, so far, it has allowed them to get what they want. November is coming, and some of them are in for a rude awakening.
