While discussing his crime-fighting efforts in Washington, D.C., President Trump claimed that it’s been months since the city has seen a murder. But that's not true. There have been 62 homicides in Washington since May, including one last week.
FACT FOCUS: Trump gets it wrong claiming no murders in DC for the last six months
In addition to pardoning two North Carolina turkeys at the annual White House ceremony, President Donald Trump discussed his crime-fighting efforts in Washington, D.C., claiming that it’s been six months since the city has seen a murder.

Hey, why are politicians deciding who’s gonna be in office instead of the people in this country who hire them by voting for them? This is insanity and it’s to ensure that the insanity continues to total destruction.

The Trump administration’s war on tourism in red states continues

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns
In a statement on Tuesday, the Interior Department, which manages federal land, said that, as of Jan. 1, it would more than triple the price of an annual park pass for nonresidents, from $80 to $250. Foreign tourists without an annual pass will also be charged $100 on top of the standard entrance fee to visit each of the 11 most popular national parks, including Yosemite, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain and the Grand Canyon.

I think that’s the point with the Trump administration. They want the American people fighting over food and education Instead of understanding how much corruption is going on in this administration.

tRump's regime is targeting college affordability by cutting financial aid and slowing cancellation of student debt from the Biden admin. If these changes continue, colleges will gradually enroll fewer students of color and fewer students from low-income families.
