Trump’s war of choice is costing us $11.3 billion in just the first week.

Trump plans to bail out our farmers for $12 billion, fixing a problem he created, and sending $44 billion to Argentina.

Trump is giving $40 billion in subsidies for the dirty fossil-fuel producers who are making billions of dollars.

Under DOGE Musk promised to save us $2 trillion when actual spending rose.

The Pentagon received $2 trillion in 2025 for the most egregious and despicable of all spending $98,329 on a grand piano for the Air Force Chief of Staff.

$9 million was spent on lobster tail and crab legs, $15 million was spent on rib-eye steak just since September 2025. But we don’t have money for food for kids or affordable healthcare? All while Trump and sons increase their wealth by $4 trillion. What happened to the party of fiscal responsibility?

Have we have lost our minds?

“Let them eat lobster.”
