Trumponomics: putting Americans last
Rob Bresnahan campaigned in swing state PA last year on a platform of banning congressional stock trading

This year, as a new GOP congressman, he dumped over $100,000 worth of stock in Medicaid companies before voting to cut Medicaid

So. Much. Corruption.

The Trump regime filed fake mortgage fraud cases against Lisa Cook, a Fed Reserve governor, Letitia James and Adam Schiff

Mortgage records were gotten illegally, bypassing the FHFA's inspector general, who was fired this month when he tried to provide info to federal prosecutors

So. Much. Criming.

The only way that Democrats told military personnel to disobey Trump's orders is if the orders are ILLEGAL

Is Trump admitting that he is giving illegal orders?

It has gotten to the point where Trump illegally threatens to kill people (US representatives and Senators) to distract from the fact that he actually IS illegally killing people (Venezuelan fishermen)
Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew the Question Wide Open.
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

This was true ON AVERAGE, but not what people wanted to hear. He paid the political price

Trump is telling people that prices are down

This is just an outright lie, and Americans know it.
