Description

Democrats and other Trump critics have expressed concerns over Elon Musk and his DOGE acolytes’ cost-cutting initiatives, with some saying that the president and Musk are not following legal protocols. But as countless online commenters have pointed out, there is a well-established tradition of presidents making unilateral decisions to cut government spending, in particular from Democrats like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Democratic hypocrisy on Trump’s cost-cutting measures.

Funny how all them say they’re going to root out waste, yet the waste has continued all these years. Almost as if they’re all liars.

Do you notice Obama’s accent back then was more like a Midwest accent with a flat a? Now he wants you to think he’s from the deep south.
