I mean, they basically are. They are slashing foreign aid, slashing Medicaid $800B, slashing SNAP programs 20%, and they're giving the money back to the American people in the form of tax breaks.

But not average Americans, no, don't be silly. It's going back to the 1% and corporations, the "real Americans" who built this country.

Average Americans get nothing. Actually, it's worse than that we get less than nothing; we are losing social welfare programs that keep up alive and healthy. Instead, the plan as far as I can tell is to just let people who depend on those programs die.

slashing Medicaid $800B

Note that the full Medicaid budget is $880B. So "slashing" it by 90% is just code for abolishing it entirely.

[to] the "real Americans" who built this country

And to the African immigrant that purchased it.
