You worked hard. You earned it. Now, Trump wants to gut Social Security to pay off billionaire donors. That’s not freedom – that’s theft.

The Trump administration and the MAGA media are treating tariffs as a PR problem they can message themselves out of. But the public isn't buying it, which suggests, as economic carnage increases, they will know who to blame.

It’s about to get ugly!!!
145% tariffs = price hikes, empty shelves, economic pain. Trump’s chaos always lands hardest on working people.
No more cheap shit—because soon buying from China will cost you 2.5 X more than it did last month. What to expect:
• Skyrocketing prices
• Shortages
• Layoffs

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.
