The year of the fraudster
This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

Millions of people are living paycheck to paycheck. They're struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead.
How does Trump respond?
By crying about how the word "affordability" is a "Democrat scam."

We distributed thousands of banned books on trans issues to FL high schoolers, and forced the IN House Speaker to resign from College Board after he tried to ban books.

Hear that retailers?
Lutnick: "The fact is we know, because we've studied it, that prices don't move unless tariffs are above 15 percent. They just don't move at all because the suppliers and the distributors eat the numbers and that's why prices stay the same."

So when Sabrina Carpenter rips the Trump White House for using her song in a disgusting video that glorifies migrant arrests, there's a much bigger story here going on behind it:
Trump's white nationalist aides are churning out vile videos glorifying migrant suffering. But Trump-MAGA are *losing* the online culture wars over deportations, because the humane side is info-warring better.
