The Trump Administration Is Getting Expensive...
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Donald Trump ran for president promising to make Americans richer and bring prices down, starting on day one. So far, that's not panning out.
The cost of the ICE and troop deployments to US cities and around the globe has ballooned into the billions. Despite promising it would bring in money to the US, Trump's tariffs have cost Americans billions of dollars out of their own pockets. So have the president's pet projects like his Board of Peace, a new HHS led global health agency and a "Golden Dome" missile plan.
Grant breaks all of it down and brings receipts.
