Chinese journalists escorted to cover the White House meeting today. USA journalists denied entry even after the court order. USA is ranked 64th on the press freedom list and headed down.

Didn't Trump promise to bring gas down to $2/gallon? I don't think that is going to happen. This diesel truck fill up was over $1000. Some cities have no diesel now, and it will only get worse.

The U.S. national debt is now over $40 trillion. In Trump's two terms he has added over $11.5 trillion to the debt with over 2 years to go. Now it will get even worse as we need to buy our own bonds since no one else wants them. It's all very unsustainable and will end badly.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Trump was going to “Bring down prices on day 1” This morning when he was asked whether he was concerned about the inflation numbers, his response was: “No, I love it. I love the inflation.” Now he loves inflation. Since we have it, it is great!
