President Shitshow went to the Capitol in order to bully the R’s into supporting his “one, big, beautiful bill act.”
He said things. I’m posting these things, not in the order in which he said them.
He’s a fiscal hawk…
I will be using both bluesky and twitter (if it works) for this thread.
REPORTER: What do you plan to tell the fiscal hawks? TRUMP: I'm a fiscal hawk. There's nobody like me as a fiscal hawk R: Do you think Thomas Massie is correct that this is adding Biden level spending? TRUMP: I don't think Thomas Massie understands govt… I think he should be voted out of office

Rep Thomas Massie has been a Kentucky Republican rep., since 2012. But sure he doesn’t understand how “government” works.
President “fiscal Hawk” Shitshow is costing us millions of dollars in his frequent golf trips. He’s also making money for his businesses while spending ours.
Trump’s golf habit has county at financial breaking point: ‘We are not being reimbursed’ https://t.co/6sydEaGjQX

Residents of a Loudoun County neighborhood say repeated visits by President Donald Trump to his golf club in Sterling have disrupted their day-to-day and raised questions about the use of local taxpayer funds for security support.
Mara Moreland, who lives in the Lowes Island community near Trump National Golf Club, said the neighborhood has been shut down four times since January, preventing her and others from entering or leaving their homes.

Loudoun County officials are now evaluating the financial toll of providing security assistance during Trump’s visits. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, which has coordinated with the U.S. Secret Service, said the costs are putting a strain on its overtime budget.
“We are not being reimbursed for that,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Sawyer during a recent Loudoun County Board of Supervisors meeting. “We have asked in writing and we will continue to ask because the resources are significant.”
He told the room “our overtime budget is not designed to support this.”
“So, the taxpayers in Loudon County are paying taxes so the president of the United States can play golf and we’re not being reimbursed for that cost,” asked Vice Chair and Ashburn District Supervisor Michael Turner.
“What if we just didn’t provide the service since we’re not being reimbursed? Are there some legal obligation that local law enforcement has to reinforce the president’s golf games?,” he asked the sheriff’s office.

Julie Briskman, who lives near the golf course is also the Algonkian District supervisor and chair of the county’s finance committee.
“It feels like an increased presence of our local law enforcement. It feels different than it did in the first term,” she told WUSA9.
She has requested a detailed report on how much the county has spent on these visits.
“With everything going on with quote-unquote waste, fraud, and abuse, I decided that we should figure out how much this is costing the county,” Briskman said.
Briskman also questioned the nature of the events that prompt the visits.
“If it’s a campaign event, then your campaign should be funding the security,” she said. “If it’s an official White House presidential event, then I can understand spending taxpayer dollars on it, but in a transparent way.”
“The Florida sheriff who is responsible for the Mar a Lago area is coming to his board of commissioners for $45 million because of how many times Trump has been coming down to Mar a Lago. So again we’re responsible for taxpayer funding and allocating those dollars, and I can tell you a $45 million bill from our sheriff’s department to protect President Trump would not be going over very well with our taxpayers,” said Briskman.
Palm Beach County said in January that POTUS security costs were estimated to be between $35 million and $40 million a year.

During Trump1.0 CNN reported: Trump on pace to surpass 8 years of Obama’s travel spending in 1 year (04/11/2017):
To date, Trump has spent six weekends – and a total of 21 days – at Mar-A-Lago, his private Palm Beach club. The total estimated costs for those trips are around $21.6 million.
Obama, by contrast, spent just under $97 million on travel in his eight years as president, according to documents reviewed by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog. These trips included personal trips – including ski trips to Aspen and the Obama’s annual family vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts – and work trips, like a visit to Everglades National Park on Earth Day in 2015.

Lenny retweeted this response to Trump2.0 saying he was a fiscal hawk…
Trump calling himself a fiscal hawk is like Cookie Monster saying he’s carb-conscious.

He was asked after his meeting if he thought it wise to cut food assistance programs, like SNAP.
Reporter: How can you justify cutting food assistance?
— Acyn (@Acyn) May 20, 2025
Trump: The cut is going to give everybody much more food because prices are coming down.. pic.twitter.com/63sEsQdx3M
I just can’t express the level of stupid in the clip.
He honestly doesn’t understand one damn thing about how things work.
He said more stupid shit, but I saw the next clip of such stupidity that I had to stop covering Trump2.0’s stupidity.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 20, 2025
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect pic.twitter.com/ozRVVfdSoP
2 seconds via google…
I can’t express how fucking nuts it is, that someone in charge of DHS, is this stupid.
Like, not just uneducated, but so lazy they had nobody google it? They didn’t ask one person to do some form of research?
She also said that we’ve only suspended Habeas Corpus 1 time.
KIM: Can you confirm that you understand that any suspension of habeas corpus requires an act of Congress?
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 20, 2025
NOEM: President Lincoln executed habeas corpus in the past with a retroactive action of Congress
KIM: Do you know what section of the Constitution the suspension clause… pic.twitter.com/6BEi5qlEHs
Show more =’s KIM: Do you know what section of the Constitution the suspension clause of habeas corpus is in? NOEM: I do not. Nope. KIM: Do you know which article is it in? NOEM: I do not, sir
We have to wrap there as I’ve got some real life shit to handle; nothing bad, just real life stuffs.
