He took to Twitter the morning after the split election outcome for the GOP to put Democrats on notice about their threats to investigate him and the administration. Democrats are also interested in Trump's tax returns, which he has declined to make public.

(176 posts)5. And he's already starting on the "Democrats wasting taxpayer money"
The Dems need to start speaking out as a party in unison to try and flip the narrative that they need to find a way to pay for each and every cent in any bills they want to pass, while the GOP gets play dress up as the fiscally responsible party, all while actually being the ones swiping the credit card (to funnel money back to those who funneled it to them). It's nothing more than irresponsibility masquerading as the moral high ground, and it needs to stop pre-2020.
