Trump: "The one thing we have is oil is a little high, but oil is much lower than it was for Biden" (Energy prices are much higher now than they were when Biden left office)

Trump ran on cleaning up Washington. But you can’t drain the swamp while letting government power become a vehicle for enriching the powerful. Americans see what’s happening. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all agree: corruption is a problem.

For the record, as Trump ups the volume on the necessity of denying voters, voter fraud (especially by non-citizens) is not a thing. It's a figment of a deranged and criminal mind.

When there is a problem with our food, the first step is usually tracing the issue back to its cause. In most cases, this will be a particular farm or meatpacking plant. But this year’s many food problems can all be traced back to to *one* cause: A WHOLLY INCOMPETENT ADMINISTRATION.
