Donald Trump promised he was gonna lower costs and make us safer. He's done none of it.
I realize he's only been in office two weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better.
You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up because of Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

It's interesting to see that our Sheriff, Robb Tadelman, is quick to point out his disappointment in not being able to help deport non-violent undocumented immigrants but he hasn't said anything about the release and pardon of J6 rioters back into our community.

More than half of the 47 economists polled by the Financial Times specifically on the U.S. economy expect “some negative impact” from the Trump agenda, and another tenth forecast a “large negative impact.” Those numbers aren't great, Donald. www.ft.com/content/d6f5...
