Sometimes being a disruptor causes pain, and pain is good. That's what the MAGA Republicans are using as their talking points now. As Donald Trump's approval is plummeting, they are praising the pain that Trump is inflicting upon the nation. How do you know you're in a cult? Maybe because you're saying things like this. So you had MAGA Republican Congress member Mauser. He goes on CNN and he goes, pain, pain, pain is good. What? Play this clip.
The next presidency, because we believe in the plan of the presidents, and that is to strengthen our national security, strengthen our economy, and sometimes being a disruptor causes some short-term problems fallbacks, some short-term setbacks. But nevertheless, that is not an indicator of long-term prosperity. And we believe in the end, it's not about how you start, it's how you finish. And we think the market's coming back and the results in the end are gonna be very strong.
And just so you see, this is like part of their talking points. And it's not unique to that MAGA Republican Congress member. You've got MAGA Republican Congress member Ryan Zink. And he's like, yeah, he's from Montana's first congressional district. And he's like, yeah, you know, Donald Trump's doing shotgun policy. And, you know, he shoots from the hip. He shoots from the hip. But, you know, we deserve it. Here, play this clip.
The economy is fickle. The economy, you know, people are hurting, and people are hurting in Montana.
And tariffs, you know... Do you think the tariffs, the trade war that he's launched against so many countries around the world is a disaster?
I wouldn't say disaster. President Trump has a tendency to do the shotgun. But he also looks for the deal. You know, I'm more of a surgical, former SEAL Team 6. I like the surgical, you know, hit rather than the broad shotgun.
I mean, how are these people real? They're MAGA, I guess. Here's MAGA Republican Congress member Jason Smith. And Jason Smith goes on CNBC. It should be a friendly audience for him. And they go, look, we've looked at your budget. You're clearly going to be increasing the deficit by a lot of money. So what are you doing here? You said you were going to reduce the deficit. Watch MAGA Republican Congress member Jason Smith crumble in the most basic question. Play this clip.
that there's not going to be pay force for these things if it expands the deficit. And she said, yes, she believes that's the case. Is that what you see it as as well?
There's absolutely going to be provisions that eliminate bad tax policy and replacing it with better tax policy. We did that in 2017. We're going to do it throughout this process. But we're going to eliminate a lot of different loopholes. Will it expand the deficit? It will. The House budget version is much different than the Senate budget version. And in fact, we are going to expand the growth in the economy. And that's the key. If you look at the revenues coming into our country right now under the current Trump tax cuts that are current policy, current law, GDP towards revenue is 17.2%. If you look at over the last 50 years, it has averaged 17%. We are going to maintain and grow that.
So you know what they're saying? They're like, Trump's policies, his tariffs, they're working so well that we're going to get so rich. You know, those Trump gold cards, they're going to make everybody so, so wealthy that that's how we're going to make up for the huge deficit, the trillions that we're going to add. Do you remember? I think it was even during the campaign where all of the economists were saying under Donald Trump's plan, all the top economists like in the world, in the country, said under Donald Trump's plan, it would add like 15 trillion, like 10 trillion, 15 on the high end, five on the low end or some numbers like that. Remember, I was like, nah, it's going to be like 30 trillion.
It's going to be like 40 trillion. Just take the number, multiply it by the worst case scenario, and you get Donald Trump. Now, look, one of the things that the MAGA Republicans are doing is they're bringing these like fake experts or these so-called experts to Congress. And they're just getting ripped to shreds also by Democrats. So the MAGA Republicans brought in recently.
