Search Results: next president

In US history, only a handful of sitting Vice Presidents have been elected President, the most recent being George HW Bush 30 years ago. A Vice President almost always serves their term, then goes into the private sector, writes a book, or retires. They rarely have eyes on becoming President.

So, let's go back in time to 2020, when the Democrats selected Kamala Harris to be Joe Biden's VP. What was the Democrat's plan? Did anyone then think that Kamala would be Biden's successor as President? Or just be the typical VP and someone else would be the next Democratic Presidential candidate?

Last time, the attempt to steal the presidency involved stopping or disrupting the count on Jan 6, to push the choice of president, on a one vote per state basis, to the 26 of 50 states run by Republicans.

Next time that still won't work, because the Vice President is a Democrat who also abides by the constitution.

It's looking more and more like this year the plan is for Republican-run states where Harris wins to simply delay certifying the results and for Speaker Johnson to refuse to extend the deadline in order that Trump can "win" with far fewer than 270 EC votes.

Trump has said he doesn't need people's votes, that he has a secret with Johnson, and he's spent his whole life delaying legal process to his advantage.

If Trump and his seditious co-conspiritors nullify the votes of millions of your fellow citizens, will you rise up and use your second amendment rights, or support him because he's the president you want?

"Pennsylvania residents with Trump signs in their yard are reportedly receiving disturbing letters warning them that “there will be consequences” for supporting former President Donald Trump. “We know where you live, you are in the data base,” the anonymous author states in the letter, first obtained by The Post Millennial. “In the dead of a cold winters night, this year, or next and beyond, there is no knowing what will happen. Your property, your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot. And more.” The threatening message was written..."

It is forecast that the $1.3 trillion estimated cost of annual foregone revenue from Trump's tax reduction plans (out of a total revenue intake of $6.3 trillion annually) is a shortfall of 20.1% which would be offset by $5.9% increase in revenue from Trump's tariff plan.
In sum, a total loss of $14.2% of federal revenue with no plans for how to make up the shortfall. He has suggested giving the President control over the Fed to set interest rates as well as control of the money supply (printing money). He has also suggested to eliminate the debt ceiling. Economists & the Congressional Budget Office have derided both of these ideas as leading to precipitous rises and consumer prices and dangerously inflationary.

More detailed breakdown:
Donald Trump's proposed tariffs to make up this revenue loss from his tax cuts (which include a 10% worldwide tariff and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods paid for by the American consumer - so in effect a hidden tax), are estimated to generate approximately $280 billion annually.
If the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Trump legislations provisions are made permanent, it is estimated that the federal government would experience a reduction in revenues of approximately $400 billion annually.
Additionally, the long-term fiscal impact would increase the national debt by $16.5 trillion over the next 75 years. This revenue loss primarily arises from the continuation of foregone income tax introduced by the TCJA.
Regarding the image above, Trump has NO ability to influence insurance rates as they are set at the state level, Congress has signaled that they have no plans to restore the state and local tax deduction (SALT), the president has no ability to mandate coverage of IVF treatment and the president has no ability to set credit card interest rates.
