If you still believe Trump, how do you explain any of this? -Trump promised to keep America out of new foreign conflicts. He then launched numerous strikes into Yemen, bombed Iran, drastically increased operations in Somalia, and has said the strikes against boats off the coast of Venezuela may expand into attacks within the country. -Trump says he wants to stop drugs from coming into America, but he has pardoned several drug dealers. He is spending his time attacking suspected drug smuggling boats from a country that neither deals in fentanyl nor smuggles to the US. -Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours with a single phone call. Instead, he continues to drag out the war by refusing to fully support Ukraine, while trying to appease Putin in order to conduct business with Russia, such as mining the Arctic. -Business is why Trump wants to cause regime change in Venezuela, through force if necessary. He wants access to their oil reserves. It is another version of the Iraq wars. -Trump said DOGE would clean up waste, fraud, and abuse, saving America trillions and resulting in $5,000 checks sent to all of us. But DOGE turned out to be the fraud, costing America more than the small amount it managed to cut from the budget. -Trump said tariffs would make America rich to the point that we could get rid of income taxes, end the deficit, and still have money left to send everyone checks. The deficit was $1.8 trillion this year, and once again, the checks never arrived. -Trump also said other countries would pay the tariffs and that they wouldn't raise prices. Tariffs did raise prices, and Americans are the ones paying for them. That is why Trump is now reducing some tariffs to reduce the price hikes he caused. -Trump said he'd bring manufacturing back to the US, but instead, his trade war is causing tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs to disappear. -Trump claims to care about farmers, but his trade war caused a surge in farm bankruptcies. He can't claim that he didn't know that would happen, because he did the same thing during his first term with the same result. -Trump tells you prices are down when they are up. He says there are trillions in development deals that don't exist. He takes credit for peace deals other nations said he wasn't involved in, and even for conflicts that never happened. -Trump is making your life worse while he rakes in billions through crypto grifts and bribes from corporations and foreign nations. His entire administration is a pay-to-play scheme to enrich himself, his family, and his cronies. When this is all out in the open, when you can see how much his decisions hurt you to enrich himself, why do you continue to believe anything he says? Trump is a conman, and always has been.
