  So we are going to stop helping millions of people across over a hundred countries, and spend more money somehow not doing it?

  “Yes Sir, a lot of people would call it dumb to spend more and not help people, it even cuts jobs from Americans”

  Yeah let’s go with that, and uhhh, fire a lot more Americans while you are at it.

  “Where?”

  Everywhere you can find them, just fire people until things break, and we’ll see if we can fix those things once they are broke.

  “Sir that’s going to cost more money, hurt more people, and cut more jobs”

  Yes, that’s why we are doing it, and uh tax everyone more and send the money directly to the Treasury so I can write myself checks from it,

  “Who would vote for you… Holy shit they are voting for you”
