Notice that the parts of Trump's economic program that help working and middle class Americans — DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and warrior dividends — are popular, progressive, and non-existent. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular, regressive and very very real.

Rep. Sarah McBride may be the first openly trans member of Congress, but the historic nature of her role is something she rarely addresses publicly — except for today.
“All Republican politicians care about is making the rich richer & attacking trans people," she said today.

The interview was recorded, as most good journalists will do. Fake news hides the crimes and truth from the people; they don't expose it.
Fox is a prime example of Fake News and the White House Press person is just another example of Fake News and Projection.
