Trump plans a "Victory Tour" to celebrate fucking tens of millions of Americans out of healthcare & food assistance

Trump is planning a victory tour for his “one, big, beautiful” spending bill, which hasn't passed the Senate, according to an exclusive report from Axios.

The outlet’s source said the countrywide tour will come “shortly after” Trump’s July 4 deadline for the bill.

Both Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune have said the Senate cannot leave for the Fourth of July recess until the bill is passed.

Rallies, "tours" are an effective propaganda tool. When the state passes laws and then goes on a "tour" to tout said law, always be skeptical.

Victory, my ass. I am so sick of this. Every day, there's something more ridiculous, outrageous, outlandish, unbelievable and stupid than the day before. Every. single. day. I don't know how I'm going to live through three-and-a-half more years of this. I don't know how any of us can.

DJT and the Republicans and the 1% are not going to be happy until they take every damn thing away from us and put it all into their own pockets.

Here's to all the stupid dipshits that did this to our once beautiful country. May they all rot in Hell. On second thought, maybe we're all in Hell now. It sure feels like it.

They don’t seem to happy about whatever the Senate bill is either, but go ahead and have your fake victory day parade.

At this point I don’t think Trump cares what’s in the bill, just so long as it passes and he can frame it as a victory and move on.

Since we had a few House R's admitting they signed it without reading it, I don't think we have any reason to believe they'll read it if the Senate sends it back to them.

Trump has his ear to the ground (and, I'm sure, a few weasel spies in both chambers), so once he identifies the problem children, he'll call them and threaten them with whatever's necessary.
