Trump promised to "drain the swamp." The fact that he has been able to increase his net worth by over $1 billion dollars on the backs of American taxpayer dollars is asinine. apnews.com/article/trump-organizati…

Trump family deal spree could open door for future presidents to profit from office
For the Trump family, business is booming. Whereas the Trump Organization didn’t do a single deal overseas in Donald Trump's first term as president, it did eight in the past year.

The war in Iran is hitting here at home. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and Kentucky now has some of the highest increases in the country. Families who are already struggling to pay their bills are now expected to pay $47 more and rising every month just to fill up their tanks.
