Donald Trump claims Joe Biden “destroyed” the economy — but what if his own trade war and tariff policies triggered many of the problems we’re facing today? This video breaks down how tariffs disrupted supply chains, increased prices, and led to job losses across key industries. Don’t fall for the b

Sounds right. Do nothing and rename it after yourself. That’s the only business approach that’s worked for the great pumpkin.

Is $5,000 enough to convince women to have more babies? Trump’s proposal offers cash at birth — but it ignores what really holds families back: expensive healthcare, unaffordable childcare, and zero paid leave. Meanwhile, New Mexico provided free childcare and lifted 120,000 people out of poverty.

Will tariffs really bring manufacturing back? One thing we do know is that many small businesses will not be able to compete with higher product costs and uncertain supply chains.

Checking the Facts: Gas Prices on April 16th.

Donald Trump recently claimed gas prices were $1.98 in some states. But is that true? According to AAA and GasBuddy.com, no state had $1.98 gas on April 16th

You own a factory. You criticize the President. The government seizes your assets. You bring a takings claim against the government under the Fifth Amendment. The Supreme Court says the government must return your assets. The government says no. What's so different to what they did yesterday?

Are tariffs hurting small businesses in America? Real small business owners share how rising import costs and trade barriers are impacting their profits, supply chains, and ability to grow. Small business owners - this is a must-watch insight into how U.S. trade policies affect everyday people.

I have heard family members use the ‘she slept her way to the top’. They would never accuse a man of doing the same thing even if he did it.

Ideas? They’re not white enough? I’m confused why ideas coming across the border need to be stopped.

I don’t know about the caving part. But my kids are brown and in public school in California not far from LA. There are undocumented kids and their parents at their schools.

Ice deporting the wrong people to El Salvador and the administration asking to deport citizens does not make me feel relaxed

If you’ve ever wondered why there’s always money for corporations - but never enough for SNAP, SSI or public schools - this breakdown connects the dots.

Who started the trade war?

I keep getting this comment on my videos from magas ‘well if other countries tariff us then why can’t we tariff them?’

It’s acting like the last 8 years didn’t happen.

I think the quotes about Mexican rapists after the escalator do it for me. Seems like a century ago now.

There was a time when a factory job could buy you a house and a future. From the 1940s to the 1970s, the U.S. dominated global manufacturing—led by FDR, Eisenhower, strong unions, and a booming middle class. Trump’s tariffs aimed to bring that era back… but can they?

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts.

Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations.

But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people.

See how this works?
