Over a quarter of Trump's proposed $1T military budget would go to just four companies who have spent $103B in taxpayer dollars on stock buybacks and dividends over the last decade.

He wants to use your money to make the military-industrial complex even richer.

Desperate Donny posting this West Point plaque that completely undermines his own attacks on Dem leaders raises serious questions about whether Trump is aware of his surroundings and his own actions, has dementia, or is in any way fit to remain in office.

Big corporations like Exxon Mobil are literally begging the Supreme Court to bail them out. They’re claiming that being forced to publish their emissions data violates their precious 1st Amendment “free speech” rights.

“To that end, President Xi invited me to visit Beijing in April, which I accepted, and I reciprocated where he will be my guest for a State Visit in the U.S. later in the year.”
Trump: I just had a very good telephone call with President Xi, of China. We discussed many topics including Ukraine/Russia, Fentanyl, Soybeans and other Farm Products, etc. We have done a good, and very important, deal for our Great Farmers — and it will only get better. Our relationship with China is extremely strong! This call was a follow up to our highly successful meeting in South Korea, three weeks ago. Since then, there has been significant progress on both sides in keeping our agreements current and accurate. Now we can set our sights on the big picture. To that end, President Xi invited me to visit Beijing in April, which I accepted, and I reciprocated where he will be my guest for a State Visit in the U.S. later in the year. We agreed that it is important that we communicate often, which I look forward to doing. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J.
