“People are coming to me and talking about tariffs, and a lot of people are asking me if they could have exceptions,” Trump said, adding, “Once you that for one, you have to do that for all.”
“I don’t change,” Trump continued, “but the word ‘flexibility’ is an important word.”
Translation, “do something for me, and I’ll do something for you”. I would take that as the Proles in his base, and “jobs”, mean nothing. It’s all about an extortion racket.

Yep, all roads lead to Rome.
The suckers who buy his carp with their cash. Cash cows.
Remember all that chatter about the “$5000 DOGE checks” used to induce acceptance of everything that is being done?

It is more a new trick in the budget math. Handout a payment/payoff and do not pass the tax cut quite as soon.
The new trick is to count things as done so they do not effect the tax cut. There is a limit the GOP house put on adding to the deficit of $4.5 tr.
In order to come in under that limit the 2017 tax cut that is still active this year won’t be counted in 2025 as a new tax cut. Yes the tax cut would still happen.
In other words literally do not count things.
It’s a con. Same thing we have been fed for 45 years: “let us throw your neighbor under the bus, and maybe you will get a tax cut”…“let us throw Billions at the rich, and maybe you’ll get a job”. Now it’s “let us cut all these programs, and maybe you’ll get a big check”. “JCs” are only interested in money, so, naturally, they expect the Proles to be willing to throw their neighbor under the bus, or cut their own throat, for money.
