While prices rise, jobs fade, and a shutdown hurts, Trump bills us $20+ billion for his lavish expenses

"Because what we're witnessing now, less than a year into Trump's second attempt to grift us, isn't just hypocrisy, it's highway robbery, as my grandmother would say. The 2024 Trump campaign might go down as the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. It sold economic revitalization and fervent nationalism but instead has grossly delivered personal enrichment. Trump laughingly promised to drain the swamp but refilled it with gold-plated walls and his lifelong lust for riches."

"Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about your grocery bill. He doesn't care that families are choosing between milk and medication, or that prices on food, fuel, and everyday necessities are rising with no end in sight. He doesn't care about American farmers or American workers. He's betraying them. For Trump, the U.S. government is and always has been a tool to serve his needs. He strives to silence watchdogs, enrich his businesses, and turn the U.S. Treasury into his personal piggy bank."

"Since returning to the White House, Trump has been running up a taxpayer tab that would make a dictator thirst for more, more, and more. By conservative estimates, he's already saddled Americans with more than $20 billion in waste, fraud, and self-dealing. And he's only just getting started. He's handing out billions, including a $20 billion bailout to Argentina. It's a flummoxing and bizarre "gift" that undercuts American farmers by giving China a new soybean source while U.S. growers sit on unsold crops."

The 2024 Trump campaign promised economic revitalization, lower grocery prices, and "America First" but delivered personal enrichment and self-dealing. The administration refilled the swamp with gold-plated walls and prioritized corporate and personal gain over workers, farmers, and households facing rising costs. Conservative estimates place more than $20 billion in waste, fraud, and self-dealing on taxpayers, with additional billions being handed out. A $20 billion bailout to Argentina undercuts U.S. farmers by supplying China a new soybean source while U.S. growers sit on unsold crops.
