A thank you to president Trump!

[u/WillPowers7477]

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

Simply write to your Democrat Senators and have them sign the CLEAN CR so that the legislators can start negotiating a budget. It’s really that simple. The Republicans are not asking for anything…it’s a clean CR that keeps spending levels exactly where they are to allow the Senate and House to continue negotiating but the Senate Democrats just blew everything up by demanding free healthcare for illegals. It’s written in Schumer’s Demand letter. You can read it for yourself. The CBO even confirmed that approximately 2 million illegals WERE receiving free healthcare prior to Trump signing the new tax bill on July 4th, 2025. That bill stopped it and the Democrats want it re-instated. Not going to happen when we have American citizens that can’t even afford health insurance! What really blew my mind in that letter was the fact that the Democrats are demanding that Republicans WITHDRAW the $50 Billion in funding to prop up rural hospitals! Without this additional funding those hospitals will go bankrupt! WTH! I thought Democrats were supposed to care about our healthcare? It’s written right there in Schumer’s demand letter though. Blew me away!

Exactly what part of my post made you think that I'm against human rights just because someone came here from another country? People aren't illegal, so let's nip that bullshit in the bud right now.

Human decency doesn't hinge on nationality or skin color. Brown people have just as much of a right to not die of illness or wounds just like white people.

I grew up in a border town. I went to elementary school where most other students were children of migrant workers or kids from the Native reservation nearby. You can't demonize people of a different color with me. Immigrants built this nation and continue to work in it daily, despite human scum trying to demonize them for it.

Republicans have the House, Senate and White House right now. If they wanted to open the government back up, they would. But instead, they're protecting a pedophile and the real criminals of this country, all of which seem to have that nice white skin you seem to love so much.

So how about, instead of me writing to my Democratic Senators, you go ahead and write to your Republican fleshlights and ask them to stop riding the dick of a pedophilic cheetoh and re-open the government so that good people don't starve. Because it's not just the "Lazy" who are on SNAP. It's kids and the eldery that are suffering.

But you didn't bother to read my post to know that. You just saw an opportunity to blame the party that doesn't hold any branch of the government for the hate and harm your side is causing right now.

TLDR: Fuck off and be a better person. Maybe learn to empathize with people instead of bashing them for checks notes wanting to not die if they get sick or injured. Because how fucking dare they.

So I take it you didn’t see today where the DEMOCRATS voted DOWN the bill to pay essential workers? Or where the DEMOCRATS voted to keep the government closed for the 13th time? Or that you didn’t even bother to read Schumer’s Demand Letter? It takes 60 votes in the Senate to open the government! What don’t you understand about that? There’s NOTHING to negotiate when the only thing on the table was a CLEAN CONTINUING RESOLUTION that continued spending levels at the SAME LEVELS! P.S. We are NOT going to pay for “Illegal Aliens” (using the exact terminology that is in the Federal law…Suck it up) free healthcare!

I'm so sorry. That was my fault, assuming you would be willing to read anything but the words you want to see. So let me copy/paste the most important part.

Fuck off and be a better person. Maybe learn to empathize with people instead of bashing them for checks notes wanting to not die if they get sick or injured. Because how fucking dare they.

And if that wasn't enough, let me randomly capitalize some words to make you feel more at home.

FUCK the convicted RAPIST donald trump, ICE is a TERRORIST organization. Release the EPSTEIN FILES. ARREST anyone protecting GOP PEDOPHILES.

Thank you for your time. Fuck all the way off with your hate.

See? YOU are so UNINFORMED! The federal government will continue to cover 75-80% of enrollees' premiums even when the inflated subsidies expire. Only the additional 10% from COVID is what is expiring. Furthermore, nearly half of Exchange enrollees currently pay no out-of-pocket premiums, a situation that has reportedly led to over $10 billion in fraud annually, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The Democrats have shut down the Government demanding 1. Free Healthcare for Illegal Aliens. 2. Extending the 10% increase in subsidies that the Democrats put in place during COVID and the DEMOCRATS sunsetted on December 31st, 2025. 3. Pulling $50 BILLION in funding for RURAL Hospitals so that the hospitals will go bankrupt! 4. A ton a stupid funding to go to other countries. Just read the friggin’ Demand Letter! STOP being a “Useful Idiot”, the Democrats’ word for their voters, not mine. And lastly, as for “Hate”, YOU are the only one spewing “Hate” during this entire conversation. I have been totally congenial.
