Coffee is up 14.5% Beef is up 12% Bananas are up 4% Electricity is up 4% Name one thing that's getting cheaper under Trump.
Lara Trump: Prices are coming down. It's not going to happen immediately. But people are actually feeling it out there… It's coming down with Donald Trump. We see the numbers all over the place.

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

Dear voter: Trump just said you're stupid if you're worried about your personal economy.

I understand the point Larry is making, but the fact is that the advisors to and enablers of @realDonaldTrump have already had their moments of testing. They have been tested, and they have been found wanting of elementary decency, honesty, and courage.
This is a moment of testing for @realDonaldTrump's advisors. The intellectually honest ones know that this reflects the President’s 40-year fixation, not any kind of a proven economic theory. This is the economic equivalent of what creationism is to biology or what ending vaccines is to medicine. The question is whether his advisors are going to have the courage to tell him and the courage to step away from being part of these policies, if he's not willing to readjust. @ThisWeekABC

Every hundred years
We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Follow this closely: The tariffs have very quickly driven two U.S. allies, which successive admins have worked hard to bring closer to the U.S. to challenge China, now moving closer to China on trade. China, Japan and South Korea will respond to President Donald Trump’s looming tariffs in lockstep, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said Monday. The three Asian countries held economic talks on Sunday for the first time in five years, vowing to bolster fair trade and strengthen economic ties among them — just days before the United States is set to announce sweeping tariffs on all trading partners.

Dear Trump Supporters, If you accept a government that has the power to deny due process to certain people, then be ready for a government that has the power to deny due process to you. Sincerely, A Former Trump Supporter

The “America First” policy ultimately leads to a more isolated, weaker America, affecting the livelihood of every single American.
JUST IN: Portugal has dropped its plan to buy F-35s from the U.S. and will replace its F-16s with European fighters. Defense Minister Nuno Melo cited geopolitical uncertainty and the unpredictability of American policy: “The world has already changed. There were elections in the US, there was a position in relation to NATO and the world, stated by the Secretary of Defense and by the US President himself, which must also be taken into account in Europe and in what concerns Portugal. And this ally of ours, which has always been predictable over the decades, could bring limitations to use, maintenance, components, and everything that has to do with ensuring that aircraft will be operational and used in all types of scenarios.” Minister Nuno Melo said in an interview Público

Donald Trump's approval ratings are underwater across the board. Americans don't support how he is handling the economy, the federal work force, foreign policy, or trade. Which, is basically everything a President does.

Remember when Marco Rubio told the truth and reminded us that Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange or security agreements from the US, UK and Russia. Trump doesn't care, and not neither does Marco. The US apparently doesn't keep its word or live up to its agreements. Why would anyone trust us ever again with Trump in office?
That time @marcorubio explained how USA, Russia & the UK promised Ukraine to provide for their defense forever if they gave up the huge stockpile of nuclear weapons left in the country after the Soviet Union fell. Good times.

Lindsey Graham is a weak boot licker who should never be listened to again by anyone. Graham doesn't care about the US or freedom. He cares about his job and position. That's it. Pathetic.
Lindsey Graham represents everything wrong with our politics.

Europe has given more total aid to Ukraine than the United States. Donald Trump is lying when he says we’ve given Zelenskyy $350 billion. Full stop.

Just spotted this on YouTube, from Rep. Keith Self’s town hall in Wylie, Texas earlier today. Another large, angry crowd at a Republican town hall in a deep red district. Sound on:
