Dear MAGA voters: President Donald Trump thanks you for your service, but he has determined you are now expendable. Please keep buying MAGA merchandise and Trump family cryptocurrency! If Trump was capable of honesty, that's the note his supporters would be getting. It would be better than the "So long, suckers" message the president is sending via his administration's priorities and reckless actions. Are you a Trump MAGA supporter?

So, in comes Elon Musk, deemed brilliant by virtue of wealth. His smug talk of "wokeness" and diversity, equity and inclusion might trigger the pleasure centers of MAGA supporters, but they're learning Musk's chainsaw is aiming for necks that include their own. An unelected billionaire is ripping though the federal government like he owns the place, firing workers right and left, including tens of thousands of veterans while the Republican Congress just watches. Do you approve of Elon Musk's 'chain sawing' the U.S. federal government?

According to Reuters reporting, "Consumer confidence deteriorated in February at its fastest pace in three-and-a-half years, with estimates for 12-month domestic inflation surging amid worries that U.S. tariffs on imports would raise prices for households." The head of Alcoa, a Pittsburgh-based aluminum company, said Trump's tariffs on aluminum imports could result in 100,000 job losses in the industry. Do you feel that President Trump's actions will fulfill his election promises to bring down the price of groceries and create more jobs in America?

Rex Huppke further opines, "I'm sorry, but I was told electing Trump would be good for American workers. In fact, I was told specifically that food prices would swiftly go down and the country would waltz into a new Golden Age. Well, it's looking increasingly like that was – GASP! – a lie, and once Trump won the election and was able to do away with his myriad legal issues, he immediately abandoned the "forgotten men and women" he so sincerely promised to champion and went straight to helping himself and his fellow billionaires."

Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts summed it up on the House floor last Tuesday while speaking out about a GOP budget that will, among other things, gut the Medicaid program many Trump voters rely on: "We all saw this coming. Last month, Trump's inauguration, who was in the front row? It wasn't people on Medicaid. It wasn't factory workers. It wasn't nurses or teachers or firefighters. It wasn't even his own cabinet. It was the richest people in the world." Though President Trump promised not to touch Medicare, Social Security or Medicaid just last week, the very next day he said that he approves of the House Republican budget bill that will cut almost a trillion dollars from Medicaid to pay for a tax cut that will overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest of Americans. Should 20 million Americans lose their only healthcare to help oligarchs like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg pay less taxes?

Before the last election, Trump's con was apparent to many Americans except for his MAGA supporters. Trump got what he needed out of his voters. And assuredly, he'll still do his best to fleece the diehards with dodgy crypto investments and any other thing he can slap his name on and sell. But for all intents and purposes, he's done with you all. He cares only about the billionaires who line his cabinet and his own personal fortune. When you go to bed at night, do you feel safer knowing that Donald Trump is the President of the United States?
