The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Do you really think corporations would reduce their prices if the tariffs were dropped? More likely they’d think , well they bought them at those prices so we’ll just keep them there. More profit for our investors. Not drop in prices, no giving employees a raise or subsidizing their health care.

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
