There are three rules I’ve always believed in:
1. Don’t mess with someone else’s children:
2. Don’t mess with someone’s income;
3. Don’t mess with someone else’s food.
This administration breaks all three of my simple basic principles.

It took less than a year.

There is no mandate. It was not a landslide. The majority of Trump’s voters elected him because they wanted him to lower costs. That’s it.
They did not elect him to pardon violent insurrectionists or rename the Gulf of Mexico.
He will overstep, and Democrats need to call him out at every turn.
