Trimming the Fat: Trump and Musk Tackle Government Waste Amid Media Backlash

The focus is on a cab­i­net meet­ing where Trump hands the floor to Elon Musk, who rais­es the pos­si­bil­i­ty of pay­ing nonex­is­tent employ­ees and calls for lay­offs to stream­line gov­ern­ment oper­a­tions. Warn­ing that the media will spin these cuts as threats to Amer­i­can ben­e­fits, stok­ing fear among politi­cians reluc­tant to scru­ti­nize spending—despite poten­tial sav­ings in the tril­lions. The clo­sure of 120 IRS offices and sev­er­al Social Secu­ri­ty offices fuels media nar­ra­tives of delayed refunds and ben­e­fits. Dis­cussing ties his­tor­i­cal job loss­es from NAFTA to cur­rent com­mu­ni­ty decay and drug issues, intro­duc­ing Bil­ly Long as the new act­ing IRS head. The DOGE ini­tia­tive is uncov­er­ing fraud, waste, and abuse, yet the media remains silent on these wins. Tax cuts and a shrink­ing gov­ern­ment will sig­nal fis­cal respon­si­bil­i­ty to mar­kets, with Trump aim­ing to bal­ance the bud­get and make gov­ern­ment effi­cient, promis­ing a cohe­sive out­come despite resis­tance.

• At the cab­i­net meet­ing Trump opened it up and gave the stage to Elon. Maybe we are pay­ing employ­ees that don’t exist. We have to fire some peo­ple. The media will make it sound like there are cuts to Amer­i­can ben­e­fits. They will cre­ate fear to where politi­cians are in fear of look­ing. We could find tril­lions in sav­ings. 
• The IRS is clos­ing 120 offices. And social secu­ri­ty offices are get­ting closed. The media wants to report that your ben­e­fits and refunds are going to be delayed or affect­ed. 
• Remem­ber all these jobs that left all over the coun­try because of NAFTA. Now in all these areas the drugs have filled that void and the com­mu­ni­ties are desert­ed. 
• Bil­ly Long will be the new act­ing head of the IRS. 
• At no time will you hear the media say thank you for find­ing all the fraud, waste and abuse that DOGE is find­ing. 
• Once the tax cuts are com­plete and the mar­kets know that we are shrink­ing our size of gov­ern­ment. We can­not con­tin­ue to spend a tril­lion more than the rev­enue that comes in. Trump is look­ing to bal­ance the bud­get. Mak­ing the gov­ern­ment effi­cient. It will all come togeth­er.
