Americans despise higher prices, and this is the shared reality that both Donald Trump and Joe Biden must confront. It’s a fundamental truth that transcends political affiliation: people are feeling the pinch, and they’re not happy about it. The frustration is palpable, and it’s directed at whoever is in charge, regardless of the underlying causes.
While the causes of these higher prices are complex and multifaceted, the impact is straightforward: people are struggling.

This isn’t just about economic data; it’s about the lived experiences of everyday Americans, from childcare to healthcare, and the rising costs are simply unsustainable for many.… Continue reading
In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump claimed to have the highest poll numbers of his “political career,” though the data suggests otherwise. Multiple polls from November show Trump’s approval ratings at their lowest point during his second term, with significant negative ratings in various surveys.

Independent analyses also suggest the plan is financially unsustainable, as the projected cost far exceeds available tariff revenue, and could potentially fuel inflation.
