Today, Donald Trump declared affordability a “Democrat scam.” That’s rich coming from a billionaire who’s never had to shop for groceries a day in his life. This president needs a serious reality check because it’s HIS economy that’s destroying working families. Affordability isn’t a scam, Trump is.

The issue about killing the last 2 survivors is secondary: Trump and Hegseth have ordered *83* murders, not 2.
None of these people were ‘enemy combatants’.
They were suspected drug smugglers until proven to be guilty in a fair trial.
Without that, they were murdered.
That is all.
