What chaos is unfolding in MAGA world?
As Donald Trump is crashing the markets here in the United States and crashing our overall economy, as Donald Trump is capitulating on these trade wars that he's initiating with Canada and Mexico and then pausing and saying, I need 30 more days. The MAGA Republican proxies of Donald Trump are on the hill. Attacking our veterans today. Here's MAGA Republican Congress member Brandon Gill on veterans getting fired by Trump and Doge. Let's play it.
To assure veterans that their services will not be interrupted by these cuts.
Well, first of all, I want to go back to that. The problem with the Social Security is that they're not communicating with other agencies that are sending out checks. That's what they've identified. But as it relates to the VA, I'd like to remind people that nobody in the United States has a right by God to have a job at taxpayer expense at the federal government, myself included.
Why are veterans being targeted by Republicans?
But my children and our grandchildren do have a birthright to inherit a country that is not bankrupt.
There's a twofer right there attacking Social Security and our veterans in under 30 seconds. Here's MAGA Republican Congress member Rich McCormick from Georgia defending Doge and Trump firing veterans. Let's play it. Congressman, should Doge be firing veterans?
I think there's going to be layoffs in every business and government. And sometimes those people will be veterans. If the job is not necessary or if there's a requirement, veterans have been laid off since the beginning of hirings. And that's every administration, by the way. So, yeah, there's going to be some layoffs. That's the way every business and every government process has been. Only when necessary.
MAGA has perfected the reverse Oprah. Layoffs for you, layoffs for you, firing you, firing you. Here is Donald Trump's top advisor, Alina Haba, on veterans who have been fired from their government jobs. Here's what she just said. Starting to think about maybe some of those veterans who worked for the federal government and maybe what the administration can do to at least help salvage their lives.
Well, as you know, we care about veterans tremendously. I mean, that's something the president has always cared about. Anybody in blue, anybody that serves this country. But at the same time, we have taxpayer dollars. We have a fiscal responsibility to use taxpayer dollars to pay people that actually work. That doesn't mean that we forget our veterans by any means. We are going to care for them in the right way. But perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment or not willing to come to work. And we can't you know, I wouldn't take money from you and pay somebody and say, sorry, you know, they're not going to come to work. It's just not acceptable.
The official message from the White House to veterans, you are not fit for your job and you are not fit to show up to work. You may have sacrificed your lives for the country, then sacrificed it again to work for the government. But as Donald Trump says, you ain't fit, so you're fired. That's the message from the Trump administration. But does it surprise you from a guy like Donald Trump who's literally spent his entire life screwing over contractors the your fire guy the guy who's run most of his businesses into the ground bankruptcy bankruptcy bankruptcy bankruptcy is this really a shocker that he surrounds himself with the worst of the worst scum and this is what they're doing speaking of scum Marjorie Taylor Greene let's see what she had to say about our hard-working federal workers play it
You can protest all you want outside of departments of this government. You can protest all you want. But the American people disagree with you. You're protecting the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is not a business. Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. By the way, they're consuming taxpayer dollars.
