I've read your post several times over the last few hours. A few thoughts:

Turns out most of his staff were Washington insiders who were just as eager to fuck his agenda over as would have been had he literally just kept Obama's staff.

Didn't he pick his staff? All those people he fired or said were terrible at their jobs were people he picked and was happy with right up until they said "Sir, we can't actually do that".

The electric drive train, FSD, the reusable rocket, Starlink, and lastly, X.

Already existed, isn't actually "Full" *or* "Self", I'll give you reusable rocket and Starlink, and X is... horrible.

Robert F. Kennedy, who's probably the most mis-quoted or out of context quoted single person in history other than Trump himself is for all his shortcomings, probably the most passionate person in America to be concerned with people's health.

The most passionate person in America to be concerned with people's health? He's a lawyer with a poor (or deliberate mis-) understanding of medicine and biology. He *is* good at conning people into thinking he's got something, though.

ANYONE who think Trump is overreaching by fixing the spending of the US with the DOGE team, etc. is clearly an enemy of the people of the United States.

They're clearly an enemy of the people of the United States? Or are they legitimately concerned that the wealthiest, most racist ketamine addict on the planet who has a history of poor impulse control and over-promising/under-delivering, has what appears to be unfettered access to the computers and thinks that people who've paid into Social Security for their entire lives may not deserve it?

If you think Trump wasn't authorized to fix it on behalf of the millions of voters who overwhelmingly voted for him

I think I saw another post that demonstrated quite well that it wasn't the overwhelming victory like you seem to think.

We now know why the media was so complicit in government corruption, they got the lions share of bribes coming from USAID!

We also know that USAID was investigating what Elon was doing with Starlink in Ukraine. And Elon doesn't like to be questioned.

So yes, I really am happy Trump won, and I don't think the DOGE team is cutting enough or going fast enough for my liking.

I'm glad you're not in a position where you rely on some of those programs or services to get by. But please remember that there are people who *are*, and they're already starting to hurt. And no need to claim that "all they have to do is work harder or move". Look at what's happening to VA - all the "improvements" that are going to be made to help disabled veterans? It's looking pretty strongly like they're going to be thrown into the same overwhelmed and ridiculously out-of-control private system that the US is famous the world over for.

They should all be tried and hanged as far as im concerned. Overreach? Hardly.

It's all fine and dandy until your name shows up on the list because seven years ago you posted that you didn't like the upholstery color choices for the Model S.

Having had severe depression and suicidal ideations that put me in the hospital for months, I feel the need to say that it's very important for you (and other folks out there) to understand that there are situations where "growing up" or "being a man" or "quit being a pussy" isn't the helpful advice you think it is.

Remember that the message came from a computer - supposedly a neutral tool with a purpose to *help* the user - telling the user to kill themselves. When you're convinced you're not worth anything, are a burden on everyone, and putting on socks seems as difficult as climbing Everest naked, something like a message from a computer can have devastating results.

tl;dr - have some fucking compassion.
