Donald Trump doesn't get credit for our booming economy, president Biden does. President Biden also had the lowest unemployment in history, not Trump.

While I acknowledge that the way Trump and Vance addressed Zelensky could have been more diplomatic, as an American , I cannot justify allocating $360 billion of our tax funds towards resolving another counties war—especially when only half of that amount has been accounted for, and the other half remains untracked. Let that point sink in! The US is currently in $33 Trillion dolars in debt yet giving away money like candy . No other country is contributing money like we are . We simply do not have the resources to continue doing that . Our financial situation is worsening as we print more money to allocate toward other countries. Furthermore, 7% of the $33 trillion of the US debt is owed by other countries , including China . Our funds need to be utilized for our own benefit before being given away. We have veterans on the streets, the elderly suffering because SS isn't covering their basic needs , school system thatvis failing , health insurance unaffordable by most. We need to fix our own issues. We need to feed our own kids before we feed the neighbors, not the other way around.
Extended argument focused on US debt, budget allocation priorities, and domestic economic needs versus foreign aid spending.

Remember tariffs don’t raise prices, the greedy corrupt corporations do this. If they would absorb them which they are financially able to but choose not to, it would be fine and no scary sensationalism
