And if you’re really worried about “waste”, there’s a lot of new waste happening right now. Found in another one of the Trump threads:
The four deportation flights to Guatemala came at a steep cost. The Guatemalan government confirmed that a C-17 military transport plane landed on Monday with 64 deportees on board.
Accounting for the per-hour operating cost, those expenses reached around $4,675 per person—far exceeding the roughly $850 price of a first-class commercial ticket from El Paso to Guatemala City.
In contrast, deportation flights operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which use Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft, cost about $630 per deported.
Pure. Waste.
Doing the same job that was being done just a few months ago, but at literally 7 times the cost, purely for political appearances, because Trump wants to “look tough”.
