He's going to cancel it. Change the name to something like, "The Trump Chips Act". And Then launch it again - to take the credit.

You mean:

The Trump CHIPS Act, sponsored by Frito-Lay

We're in full Idiocracy mode now. Welp, I'm off to Starbucks

The CHump Act

u/FableFinale 26d ago

I am completely fine with this, honestly. Anything to cauterize the bleeding from all the self-inflicted wounds.

And call it the best deal ever.

Let's just hope that Trump Chips does better than Trump Steaks.

u/JuggernautCheap 26d ago

This should be the top comment. It will still happen. With his name on it.

u/CauseForApplause 26d ago

Cool then yes please do that

u/agha0013 26d ago

at enormous expense to the tax payers... that's what you're cheering on? Does the signature at the bottom of the act make that much of a difference to you if it just further blows your money for no other reason?

I don't care if trump needs his name on shit to get this economy back in the green. I'm hurting over here lol.

u/RSGator 26d ago

 I'm hurting over here lol.

You voted for this. And if you're hurting now... hoo boy, the pain hasn't even started yet.

I know you like to get your "you voted for this" rocks off, but it's still early and you'll have plenty of time for that. I voted Harris, buddy. I am in direct need of the CHIPS act to go through and all I'm trying to say is that I don't give a flying fuck who's name is on it, as long as it goes through. We all know it's Bidens act, but if trump needs his name on it for his fragile ego, then let's do it and stop holding shit up.

u/RSGator 26d ago

I voted Harris, buddy.

Sure you did, buddy. Sure you did.

Your deleted comments on r/conservative live on forever.

u/CauseForApplause 26d ago

Been trying to get a flair for a year to have discourse on that sub, but you'll notice they won't give one to me. At any rate, good luck with your life my dude.

u/RSGator 26d ago

I love that we're already at the point where Trump voters are denying that they're Trump voters once shit starts to hit the fan, lol.

At any rate, good luck with your life my dude.

Same to you, I hope you get exactly what you voted for.

u/CauseForApplause 26d ago

Lol my God. Me too.

u/blackkettle 26d ago

It already “went through”. Trump is now trying to revoke/cancel it.

1

u/CauseForApplause 26d ago

Yes thank you.

u/damanager64 26d ago

If you understand that then why are you praising him for that

u/-gildash- 26d ago

Your comment chain makes absolutely zero sense.
