In 2024, Trump campaigned on "ending inflation on Day One." Two years later, the affordability crisis is even worse than when he returned to office — thanks to his policies.

Trump had people arrested to cover up his incompetence. An impeachable offense for any other president. For Trump, probably just about the 17th worst thing he did that week.

REMINDER: When Biden left office inflation was 2.9%. Now it's 3.7%. When Biden left office gas was $3.10 per gallon --now it's $4.33. When Biden left office Diesel was $3.63-- now it's $6.29. This is 100% TRUMPFLATION. Only people doing well now are Trump, his corrupt family and his oligarchs!

Wow. This is so sleazy and alarming. #BradBradford is a slimeball. He’s backed by the same developer sleaze that put Rob & #DougFord into power. Chris Alexander dropped out of the Toronto mayoral race & now a mysterious other ‘Chow’ appears on the ballot right above Olivia?? #TOpoli #VoteOlivia

There is a Braeden Chow listed right above Olivia
Chow's name on the voting ballot for Mayor in Toronto.
Since when were there two Chows and why wasnt this flagged? It's small type, his band appears first and people in a hurry could easily see Chow and vote for him thinking it is Olivia. Somehow, the names should have been separated, or one printed in bold. Considering how close the margin is between her and Bradford, details like this could make or break an election.
