View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget

With social security if he does touch it, I believe he would have to wait till after midterms provided he maintains control. If he entertains touching social security or actually does he will certainly get hit in the mid terms and might even go out a lame duck. If he doesn’t touch it before the mid terms he risks losing the ability to touch it all if he loses any ground. And with all the other ambitions he has, I doubt he touches it.

Trump is imposing ludicrously high tariffs day 1 by executive order, plus all the other incredibly unpopular Project 2025 stuff. The GOP is going to lose the House in the midterms in a big way. I can see that coming, and Trump can see that coming, and Trump's allies can see that coming. And they're dead set on their agenda anyway. Either they don't care about the results of a fair midterms or they're not planning for the midterms to be fair.
