“$20 million contract that used funds from the Department of Homeland Security” This is scathing in detailing Trump’s narcissism and entitlement to your tax dollars. It’s also verified by 12 people! #Sheshed www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

Trump Directed Use of Taxpayer Money for Ads Praising His Presidency (Gift Article)
The government-funded ads show just how much President Trump has been able to use federal money for his own aims.

Campaign-style Trump ads use money meant for border security, memorials
The White House Office of Management and Budget added $20 million to the pot for commemorative events a day before DHS awarded an advertising contract of the same amount.

Men, if you saw a male friend stealing a drunk's wallet would you just shrug and say it was OK because the person was drunk and deserved it? No, of course not. Rape is a worse crime than stealing. Why do you think it's OK if the woman is drunk?

The Navy gives Boeing an $880 million contract. Trump buys $500,000 in Boeing shares that day. That should make your blood boil. A president should not sit close enough to the government’s money spigot to trade on the companies it enriches. #PayToPlayPresident

Here are the problems with Trump & Fox’s claim. Overcharges from ACA user fees date back to money collected during Trump’s own first term. And refunds only go to eligible people in the 30 states using the federal exchange. States that operate their own ACA marketplaces aren’t included.
