Summary
A federal judge just temporarily blocked what critics are calling a billion-dollar Trump slush fund designed to reward political allies — while ordinary Americans are drowning under rising costs, layoffs, debt, and economic anxiety.
At the same time, some Republicans are pushing bizarre proposals like putting Donald Trump on the $250 bill as corporations report record profits and working families continue to struggle. With recession fears growing, Trump is now focusing taxpayer dollars on “beautifying” Washington D.C. through contracts many fear will enrich connected insiders and political cronies.
This isn’t leadership. It’s a campaign of greed, spectacle, and cruelty.
