Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”

    This seems to be a strategic engagement inducing comment but I’ll bite.

    One additional piece of obvious information will probably adjust initial impressions of the above comment. So Harris “won” 20 states and Trump 30… so using some napkin math and by looking at that statement on it’s surface (I noticed you didn’t actually make a claim one way or the other) that means… Harris states, on average, generate roughly 30% more GDP than Trump states.

    Edit: Punctuation

    Edit Edit: Harris is 19 + DC and Trump 31 so it’s actually closer to 32-34% (If you count DC or not).
