I’m headed to the Moorhead area to talk about the infrastructure projects we’re funding to improve peoples’ lives.

That includes cutting the ribbon on a brand new fire station and finding ways to mitigate the effects of extreme weather like flooding.

Tonight is President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress. We’re going to hear a lot about his plans, but here’s the truth:

⬆️Costs are up
⬆️Chaos is up.
⬆️Corruption is up.

Instead of cutting costs for you, the Administration is cutting taxes for the wealthy.

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech:

if you can spell things like:

"Disinformation"
"Misinformation"
"Fibs"
"Untruths"
"Fabrications"
"Demonstrable falsehoods"
“Plays loosely w/facts”
"Mendacity"
"Prevarications”
Or "whoppers"

Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

President Trump's speech last night failed to offer a clear vision for lowering housing, child care, and health care costs. Instead, he doubled down on failed policies that will only fuel more chaos and drive up prices for Americans.
