Trump to Adopt Elon Musk’s Proposal for Government Efficiency Commission​

Former president also to reiterate calls for lower corporate tax rate and steep regulation cuts​


“… The commission would conduct “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and make “recommendations for drastic reform,” the Republican former president plans to say in an appearance before the Economic Club of New York. The goal would be to identify ways to eliminate fraud and improper payments, according to portions of the speech viewed by The Wall Street Journal.

…
The former president has long taken aim at the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which called for spending hundreds of billions of dollars to affect a swath of climate, healthcare and tax policies. In his speech, Trump plans to say he would rescind all unspent funds under the law. His campaign didn’t provide specifics, but the threat has alarmed Democrats. The White House, for example, is racing to lend moneyunder a clean-energy program that has faced criticism for moving too slowly.

There was more than $50 billion in unspent IRA funds at the Internal Revenue Service alone as of March 31, according to a government report. If Trump has a Republican Congress, lawmakers would be eager to pull that money back, shrinking the tax agency’s ability to boost enforcement. He would need congressional approval to repeal tax credits under the law. …”

Shocking that musk wants a tax cut. Again. Fuck that guy.
 


“… The two staffers, according to a source with knowledge of the incident, are deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump’s advance team.

… ANC rules, that had been made clear to the Trump campaign in advance, say that only an official Arlington photographer can take pictures or film in Section 60.

When an ANC employee tried to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the two Trump campaign operatives, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.

Picard then pushed her out of the way according to two Pentagon officials. …”

Trump admits he lost in 2020, leading white nationalist Nick Fuentes to disavow him

Trump quietly admits he lost 2020, enrages supporters
www.usatoday.com www.usatoday.com



White nationalist Nick Fuentes blasted Trump Sept. 4 for admitting that he lost the 2020 election, and said that he will work to get voters not to back Trump.

"So, why did we do Stop the Steal? Why did did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why did any one go to jail? ... It would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged," Fuentes said on his podcast, referring to the criminal charges for those who invaded and ransacked the Capitol. "It would’ve been good to know that before (I) had all my money frozen, put on a no-fly list, banned from everything, lost all my bank and payment processing.”
 
This came up in the Trump rally and interview thread, but this answer is astonishingly incoherent (after JD gave the “let grandma do it” answer the day before), so wanted to add it here, too (I added paragraph breaks to make it easier to read).



“Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue.

But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care is.

Couldn't, you know, there's something, you have to have it – in this country you have to have it.But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to — but they'll get used to it very quickly – and it's not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.

Uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care.

We're gonna have - I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care.

I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about.We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care, uh, is talked about as being expensive, it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in.

We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world.

Let's help other people, but we're going to take care of our country first.

This is about America first. It's about Make America Great Again, we have to do it because right now we're a failing nation, so we'll take care of it.

Thank you. Very good question. Thank you.”

TBF, Harris is making prepared remarks and Trump was taking questions from a panel. But at least Harris had prepared a plan to address the issue broadly.

Btw, here is JD Vance offering his off-the-cuff solution:

For reference, Walz on child care before being picked as VP — something of a signature issue for him in Minnesota:

I can't believe he was applauded for that answer.

Yep, especially in that setting. Maybe his handlers had staff as applause generator plants in the audience?

But maybe the audience was so baffled they were applauding him wrapping up his response (whether for pity’s sake or boredom or delight that Trump finally pulled himself out of the slide - MAGA!)?

Trump says things on a daily basis that are as/more confusing and incoherent than anything Biden said on that debate stage in June, yet not a peep from Pubs (or much from the media) on inability to do the job.

This continues to be a baffling double standard. All I can come up with is that by comparison there was no question that Biden’s debate performance was an acute, severe decline from what he was previously capable of over decades of service.

Meanwhile Trump has been giving these rambling, incoherent responses since he came on the scene and the increased incidence and incoherence of them has been much more slowly happening.
🤷‍♀️

But the other difference was Biden’s supporters reacting to his debate performance with concern about his capacity to do the job for another four years, while apparently Trump supporters would cheer if he vomited on the stage then yelled MAGA!
