Trump promised lower costs and America first. But as healthcare and grocery bills skyrocket, he is focused on building ballrooms, renaming the Kennedy Center and literally running another country. This is not what America asked for. This is not what America deserves.
Trump campaigned on lowering costs—but instead he’s wreaking havoc on the economy—raising prices on everything from your utility bill to your groceries. Trumpflation is putting families through hell.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
