Trump said he'd lower costs "on day one."
Well, here we are a year later, and prices have only gone up.
Instead of making life easier, Trump is imposing a national sales tax on Americans through his tariffs.
His promises were nothing but a con job.

Today's inflation data shows that Trump's cost-of-living crisis continues to hurt Americans.
I'm demanding that his OMB Director, Russell Vought, come to the Budget Committee and explain why they keep making life harder for working-class families.
What is he so afraid of?

One day, the cost-of-living crisis is a “con job.” The next day, he’s flying into Pennsylvania to pretend he’s fixing it.
The real con was his promise to lower prices.

In Trump’s economy, the billionaires always seem to come out just fine.
It’s everyone else who gets stuck with higher prices, less health care, and now fewer jobs.

Trump will claim that he's brought in $17 trillion — sometimes it's even $18 trillion.
