  1. This fuckwit doesn’t know and he doesn’t care. This is nothing more than a distraction.

  2. That’s code for he wants more money from them, then he’ll give them grants or just tax payer money directly

  3. A normal president would roll out proposed legislation, with a senator or two to back it.

    For this guy, “changes are coming” is code for “we have no definite plan of action, but we’re floating this trial balloon to see who we can extort money from.”

  4. I can assure everyone absolutely nothing will change and he’ll forget he said this next week. Epstein files anyone?

  5. Jeff will just remind him about that movie he made for his fully depreciated woman and this will get buried

  6. stop listening to what he say, instead observe what he actually does

    big tech and russians bought him presidency, he may shit talk both but at the end of the day he will serve their interests

  7. He will get right on it – after he annexes Greenland, and definitely before he has a healthcare plan beyond just a concept.

    Then, nothing will happen, the prices will still keep going up, and he will call it a hoax.

  8. I guess he’s worried the GOP will lose the midterms. There must not be enough time to gerrymander.

  9. Amber_ACharles on

    Fees sound great, but try getting major grid upgrades approved here-feels like pulling teeth. UAE’s energy pros aren’t stuck in endless reviews; they actually get to build what’s needed.

  10. Equal-Prior-4765 on

    Maybe they should use solar panels or wind turbines to create their own free energy 🤔

  11. All talk, no walk. All Trump does is say something to distract you with so he can kick the can without a plan

  12. So am I getting retroactively refunded and a reduced power bill in the future? Like where the policy?

  13. If he actually cared, he wouldn’t have helped stomp out so many electric projects like wind farms.

  14. These are the same people who are trying to eliminate the estate tax as part of a plan to tackle housing.

  15. He is saying to them “Give me money or I’ll do this”. They will “donate” a bunch of money to him and he’ll forget all about it.

  16. he wants tech companies to pay their own way but he begs people for money to pay his legal bills
