Biden handed off an improving economy to Trump and Trump tanked it. That simple. Or it *would* be—but Trump wasn't satisfied with just tanking the economy with a useless war and silly tariffs, so now we're headed toward *total collapse*. All Republicans must be voted out. This party is a disaster.

Trump made $2.2 billion his first year back in office, and he signed the form that says so. He thinks he gets to keep it. There's a plan that says otherwise. 🔥💰🔥

Closing message from Republicans being straight up Islamophobia is a terrible choice. Calling Abdul Mohammed, saying he’s Muslim brotherhood, saying he may have assimilated but so was the Fort Hood shooter is disgusting.  And Jews - even ones who won’t support him - aren’t interested in that crap.
