Trump says affordability is a “con job” and a “fake narrative” — but only 26% of Americans approve of how he’s handling the cost of living.
Bottom line: Trump doesn’t care if you can’t afford to feed your family or pay your bills. He’s getting rich, and that’s all that matters.

Trump’s cronies at the DOJ were so busy scrubbing the President’s name from the Epstein Files that they forgot to redact some mentions of victims — exposing survivors publicly.
They care more about protecting Trump than protecting victims of sexual abuse.
