“Many of the Trump crew seem to be delusional about Trump accounts. They claim to believe that they will replace Social Security. It shouldn’t be a surprise to us that many supporters of Trump are out of touch with reality, but that is not a reason for the rest of us to take their nonsense seriously. Let’s keep our eyes on the ball. This is not 3-dimensional chess; it is an account for newborn kids in which the government deposits $1,000.” (05/11/26)
