Do tell where all the money that trump is saving is going?

The gutting of necessary agencies. Asking for a country and why the fuck isn't anyone saying/doing shit? Surely repugs have children who will no longer get necessary vaccines, free lunches etc

Where he has the money probably stashed from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other payoffs from donors who want to escape legal problems and have the justice department look the other way!

You borrowed to spend it.

Try it some time. Overspend your credit card by 100% this month. Then cut your spending and overspend it by 50% next month. What happened to the money you didn't spend? It didn't exist.
