Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.
"We're going to make a couple of tweaks," Trump said of his "one big beautiful bill" during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. "I mean, we don't want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don't know what they're doing."
"We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let's say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let's say Gavin 'Newscum,' who's done a horrible job in California."
He's a literal traitor.
Americans are just too stupid to see it in anything but hindsight.
Assuming the fascists don't win and rewrite history, he will be considered a traitor in the history books.
He is objectively the most prolific traitor in American history, and it isn't even close. He's literally worse than ALL other American traitors COMBINED. It's not even a debate.
When I say "not my president", it's not me refusing to acknowledge Trump's authority/ being a sovereign citizen. It's me saying he is acting in a deliberately antagonist way. He sees us as the enemy. He isn't leading, in fact he's doing the opposite.
Here's what's supposed to be normal: even if you don't vote for someone in office, you are still their responsibility. JB Pritzker still has a responsibility to protect Republicans in Illinois. Greg Abbott still has the responsibility to protect democrats in Texas.
so trump is against America. you cant help only half a country and still call your self an American. not in my book. fook you trump.
Time for articles of impeachment. Or secession.
Secession is what Russia is blackmailing him for. Secede MAGA instead.
Elect an alternate president. Reject Donald.

I think the blue states should cut all the funding they provide for the government.
Even just CA would absolutely make an impact.
Note that there’s no claim of it helping any people or benefitting constituents, even his own. In this world of narcissism, there’s only “what’s in it for me?” And “how to spite anyone who disagrees with me?”
Blue states cut off those wankers
They've been stupid and malicious for too damn long. Let them eat their own shit
“The United [sic] States.”
The Segregated States of Americans, nee United.
The Confederacy (took them awhile to get all their people in place since the 1800s)
Time for blue states to stop paying federal tax, then.
California, Oregon, Washington. I think you should join Canada! Free Health Care. It’s not perfect, but you won’t lose your house or life savings if you have a health issue.
Believe me, many of us are down for that. Or the Pacific States of America. Or Cascadia and the Republic of California.
It's the devastating war that would follow that we're nervous about.
The devistating war is already on, and has been for generations. Maybe it's a cold war from folks perspective, but I would contend that's a matter of privilege.
Oi let's get a Revolt app server up and running for each state and get people on it to work together to make that happen
Especially to work on all kinds of issues, discuss things, inform each other, collaborate, & show progress/milestones for all kinds of things
That's what we're all missing. A huge community for each state with ability to set it to specific cities/towns while still being informed about whole state. And have a server for whole country too
That way we don't waste more time trying to reach out to people, or get people to do because we would all be in the same servers
California, Oregon, Washington. I think you should join Canada
And if we don't want them?
Even the most left-ish states are still relatively right leaning by Canadian standards.
California, Oregon, Washington.
New independent country. We'll call ourselves, "North Chile."
California is bigger GDP than Canada
Doesn't mean we want them... Y'all got serious social issues to sort out first.
Yes, please! I would gladly join, and a lot of us are down with that idea already.
That must be comforting to hear to republican citizens living in those blue states.
All those red districts in blue states, get ready to get screwed. Trump ain’t helping you.
Unless you're in the top 1% of wealth, he isn't helping you either.
Yesterday I drove into my home town, where I grew up. It's been hard to go there since MAGA erupted. In a usually-blue state, my home town (and the surrounding area) goes deep red. I wish I could say it was inexplicable, but I grew up around these people - their current authoritarian boot-licking matches up with everything I always knew about them.
How wonderful this news could've been to hear on the TV 12 hours ago, when I was back in that town, sitting in a waiting room. There was only one other person in the room, a middle-aged white guy who kept loudly saying things in response to the news on the TV. I'm pretty sure he was just trying to chat with someone, but I know how easy it is to accidentally set some people off, and I'm not about to make small talk about the news with a stranger in that town.
So I ignored him. He kept making unsolicited commentary. I kept reading my phone. Thankfully, someone eventually entered the room with a dog, and that gave the man a chance to start a conversation about the good boi, which the dog's owner happily obliged. But now I wonder what he would have said if this story had been on the news at that time. It might have actually been entertaining.
I live in an extremely blue city in an extremely red state so I’ll be sitting in the fabled catbird seat.
He's going by the books. Everyone should know his next move. Everyone keeps thinking someone else is going to do something about it.

and we should have seceded and stopped paying fed taxes a long time ago.
at least im doing my part. I can cheat my ass off on my taxes and take payments under the table. they'll be none the wiser. especially now that they've gut the IRS. If that hurts the blue state i live in, fine. like i said, we should have seceded already.
I live in NC. We have a Dem governor, but the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans. The state has gone to Trump three times. What is his plan with that?
His plan, no matter what he says, is to fuck each and every one of us who isn't already rich and preferably white.
Woah you look like an immigrant with this statement. Careful about ICE
Dangle the money over the state and tell residents they can only have it if they remove the Governor.
Or the potus. Seems a much easier choice.
He'll double down. Obvs.
Let's fucking Balkanize already. My blue state has all the nukes and I would love to use them on Trump and his red-state dick sucks.
I hate that we're literally funding them to drag us all back to the dark ages since the blue states receive less than they pay in taxes and vice versa with the red.
I agree with but every state has blue voters too
The red states don't have enough blue voters but they do have plenty
Terrible idea. That would kill millions and also kill a ton of people that hate Trump. Plus, cut off that area of land for 100s of years. If using nukes weren't a big deal, they would be used in common skirmishes.
So instead of one shitty country there are several shitty countries?
That means I don’t have to pay federal taxes for it right?
I don't think he realizes this isn't the gotcha he thinks. That means the poverty line between the states that already exists is going to get even worse, because they are taxing the lower income brackets even worse.
And whenever it’s Democrats in power they have to kiss Republicans’ ass.
What a fucking cunt.
At this point the blue states deserve it. Every day MAGA isn’t scared to leave their homes is a day you’ve failed.
Edit: please, downvoters- leave your comment and expose your utter cowardice
… and cue the facial Equal Protection problems.
he is the most useless person
Lol... this is hilarious. Sadly his morons will believe it.
States by GDP:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_GDP
In 2024, states that voted for Harris generated 48% of the GDP, Trump states 52%.
Let's look at Texas voting by county
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_TexasNow let's look at the proportion of gdp by county
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Texas_counties_by_GDP_2021.pngHmm I wonder where most of the money in red states comes from...
This seems to be a strategic engagement inducing comment but I'll bite.
One additional piece of obvious information will probably adjust initial impressions of the above comment. So Harris "won" 20 states and Trump 30... so using some napkin math and by looking at that statement on it's surface (I noticed you didn't actually make a claim one way or the other) that means.... Harris states, on average, generate roughly 30% more GDP than Trump states.
Edit: Punctuation
Edit Edit: Harris is 19 + DC and Trump 31 so it's actually closer to 32-34% (If you count DC or not).
President of the unusually selfish.
