Dems know nothing about economics.

A weaker dollar makes you a lot more money. It also strengthens tariffs. It helps with debt. When you have a strong dollar, you can't sell anything. A strong dollar is only good for inflation. - Trump

Paying the troops is so important. So is paying the people who help seniors with social security & veterans get health care. I also don’t want millions thrown off health care.

But Trump isn’t concerned with that. He’s focusing only on his own political needs. That’s who he is.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov · 1h

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s announcement of “substantial” layoffs of federal workers:

"Donald Trump and Russ Vought are once again showing us exactly who they are: reckless ideologues willing to inflict real pain on hardworking Americans to score political points. They have repeatedly treated federal employees not as partners in serving the American people, but as punching bags for their political agenda. Now, in the middle of a shutdown manufactured by Republicans – who control the House, the Senate, and the White House – they’re doubling down by laying off federal workers, turning their own failure to govern into a direct attack on the people who keep this country running and jeopardizing vital government services."
