📆 LOWERING PRICES ON “DAY ONE”: DAY 478

Yes, Trump’s illegal war with Iran helped send fuel prices soaring, driving up the cost of shipping, farming, and food deliveries nationwide.

But this inflation spike also carries Trump’s fingerprints everywhere else:

• Reckless tariffs that raised consumer prices

• Trade wars that hammered supply chains and farmers

• Corporate handouts disguised as economic policy

• Deregulation for polluters, monopolies, and oil companies

• Attacks on clean energy investments that could reduce long-term fuel costs

• Tax cuts engineered for billionaires while deficits exploded

• Union-busting and wage suppression

• Price-gouging protections quietly stripped away

• An administration stacked with lobbyists, oil executives, and grifters treating public policy like a private revenue stream

Trump promised to lower costs on “Day One.” Instead, Americans got a trade mess, a war shock, and an economy stripped for parts so billionaires, oil executives, and connected insiders could cash out while everyone else pays more for nearly everything required to remain alive, employed, insured, housed, fed, and moderately sane in modern America.∎
