Stop Lying to Us
To: Pres. Trump
From: A verified voter in Springfield, MO
January 30
I am a retired math teacher. I know how to calculate percentages, and I know when I am being lied to. My grocery costs have increased by 25 percent in the last year. Twenty-five percent. . You are claiming that grocery prices are “down.” You are either incompetent or deliberately misleading the public.
While families and retirees are struggling to afford basic food, you are out here lying daily about prices and simultaneously demanding $10 billion from the IRS and the Department of the Treasury to line your own pockets through frivolous lawsuits. That is our money. Taxpayer money. And it is obscene.
If prices are supposedly down, then explain why real households like mine are paying dramatically more. It is clear you are failing us, the people you represent.
We are not stupid. We see our receipts. Do your job and stop lying to us and stop grifting. We know what you're doing and it's horrifying.
