Danielle, I want you to hear Donald Trump in his own words. When a reporter asked him about new data showing inflation at a three-year high — groceries up, rent up, families stretched to the breaking point — he said: "I love the inflation." Not "I'm working on it." Not "I feel your pain." He loves it. This is the same man who told reporters last month, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation" as his war in Iran increases gas prices. At least he's honest about one thing: He doesn't think about you, Danielle. He never has. And it doesn't stop there. On election night in 2024, Trump stood on stage and promised the American people: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars." Three months into his war with Iran, he said in an interview — with a straight face — "When you say I promised, I didn't promise anything." He promised. And now he's pretending he didn't. He also said we have “no money” to pay for child care or health care. But his government was able to conveniently find $1.776 BILLION to set up a compensation fund to support January 6th insurrectionists. But should we be surprised? This is the man who built his political comeback on the Big Lie — telling Americans over and over that an election he lost was stolen. No matter how many courts, recounts, and members of his own administration said otherwise. Lying isn't a side effect with Donald Trump. It's the whole strategy. I’m done being surprised at their hypocrisy, but I’m not done fighting back. We don't have to take this. In November, voters will decide whether he gets a rubber-stamp Congress for two more years of this — or whether we put a check on his power. The path to victory is simple: We must expose every lie, every deception, and remind working people of the truth they already feel — Trump never had their best interests in mind, and he will always, always put himself first. But not only that, Democrats need to give voters something to vote FOR instead of just being “not Trump.” That’s why I’m laser-focused on pushing our party to champion policies like universal child care, taxing the rich, and raising the minimum wage — no matter how much it may upset corporate donors. His strategy is to lie so often that we stop keeping track. We won’t give him the satisfaction. If you're able, will you pitch in $100 or any amount to power our campaign to expose the lies, take back Congress, and get our government to ACTUALLY work for working people?  |
