Trump's war has been such a disaster for American families.

But it's been great financially for the oil industry, and those who are invested in it like President Trump.

This war must end. We're tired of lining the pockets of big oil companies due to Trump's reckless decisions.

Before Trump took office, the inflation rate was projected to be back down to near pre-covid levels by the end of 2026.

Instead, Trump’s dumb tariffs and war sent prices soaring while he personally got billions of dollars richer.

Unbelievable. Trump’s failed war in Iran has cost American taxpayers $47,000,000,000.

That’s on top of the 160 billion Americans are paying in higher fuel costs.

None of this was necessary. Trump’s presidency has been a disaster.

Iran war cost increases to $47 billion

The cost of the U.S.’s war against Iran has gone up to $47 billion, an increase of more than $3 billion since last month, as President Trump mulls launching strikes against the Islamic Republic aft…

Here we go again.

As soon as the midterm elections pass, Trump is reportedly planning to restart intense military actions in Iran. That’s likely going to mean even higher gas prices than we have now.

Americans are sick and tired of paying the price for Trump’s dumb war.

U.S. Warns Gulf of Possible Short, Intense Renewal of Iran War After Midterms

There are new signs that the American and Israeli militaries are preparing a potential wave of strikes to muscle Tehran to the negotiating table.

In Trump’s America, if you’re a criminal who’s been ordered to pay restitution to victims, you can get out of it if you’re wealthy and well-connected to the White House.

Trump’s pardons and commutations have wiped out $1.1 billion in fines and restitution.

When Trump says the U.S. is “making money like we’ve never made before” off high gas prices, he means HE is making a ton of money off high gas prices.

This war is leaving you with less money. It’s leaving Trump with more.

As Trump brags about U.S. oil and gas company profits, his stocks gained millions during Iran war

A report from congressional Democrats found the president purchased millions in oil and gas stocks during the war.

Yet another example of the people in Trump’s orbit rushing to cash in on his presidency.

Trump’s former personal lawyer and U.S. attorney for New Jersey secured a $50 million employment deal from the family of a Venezuelan billionaire banker seeking a pardon.

Russia has murdered over 17,000 civilians in Ukraine.

They’ve abducted over 20,000 children.

Trump and his administration are quick to praise Russia and Putin but never miss an opportunity to criticize Zelenksy and undermine Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. Which side are they on?

Top Trump Aide Steve Witkoff, to Vladimir Putin: "You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute you, and I commend you."

Secret Service resources → $415M for White House Ballroom Construction

Missile modernization program → Renovation of Trump’s Qatari-gifted jet

DHS commemorative activities → $20M for pro-Trump television ads

If anyone needs to be investigated for fraud, it needs to be President Trump.

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

This administration thinks so little of the American people.

They start a senseless war that sends farmers’ diesel prices soaring, and then pretend to rescue them from the prices they drove up.

American farmers are not stupid.

I just want to remind people what nearly two years of Trump’s presidency—with Republicans controlling Congress and backing him every step of the way—have brought us:

Sweeping tariffs costing households more than $1,000 a year.

This whole administration is unbelievably corrupt.

Trump’s former personal lawyer allegedly sought to buy Trump’s favor through a $5.6 million Kennedy Center donation intended to protect her husband’s business interests in Venezuela.

I’m heartbroken by the shooting at an elementary school in Oregon that killed three children and a teacher and wounded others. My prayers are with the victims’ families, the students, and the entire Bend community.

New documents have revealed the donors to Trump’s ballroom.

Tens of millions of dollars came from big tech and artificial intelligence companies—the very companies that stand to benefit from Trump’s reckless push to block AI regulation.
