Donald Trump is now responsible for 28% of the US national debt. That's $11 trillion. In 250 years of American history, no president has added more. That's not an opinion. It's math.

It’s estimated that 1,049,454 Americans have died in wars spanning from Lexington and Concord to today. Each number represents a person who never came home, a family forever changed. All who sacrificed are honored today...

1. Jared Kushner said that, to prevent conflicts and corruption, he would not raise any funds for his private equity fund during Trump's second term. HE LIED.

Kushner breaks pledge, seeks $5 billion more from foreign governments
After Donald Trump won the presidency in 2024, Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, dismissed concerns that his private equity firm would be a vehicle to buy foreign influence.
