Let them eat cake! Spending $200m on a ballroom while citizens are struggling to pay rent and put food on our tables? The cost for most of us to merely survive in our country is out of control and getting worse. Prices for basic needs like food, housing, electricity, and healthcare keep rising, yet most Americans are not paid enough to survive without government assistance (and you're taking that away from us). And tariffs are only making it more difficult, on businesses and American consumers! What are we supposed to do when even the hardest working Americans can't afford to live? The greed of politicians and corporations has killed the American Dream, and you seem totally okay with that. The Republican Party needs to reevaluate its priorities before our desperation leads to an uprising.
