America is paying the price for a government that values personal loyalty over competence. Look at the economic facts. 2024 vs. 2026: • Inflation: 2.4% → 3.7% • Grocery inflation: 1.3% → 1.8% • Gasoline price change: Down 15.3% → Up 34.2% • Energy inflation: Down 6.8% → Up 20.4% • Real wage growth: +1.5% → Negative 0.7% • September job creation: 254,000 → 29,000, as initially reported • Unemployment: 4.1% → 4.2% • Second quarter GDP growth: 3.0% → 2.2% • Mortgage rates: 6.44% → 7.40% • Annual federal deficit: $1.833 trillion → $1.992 trillion • National debt: $35.5 trillion → $40.25 trillion • Consumer confidence: 70.5 → 46.3 • Core inflation: 3.3% → 2.6% • Restaurant inflation: 3.9% → 3.5% And what is Trump’s brilliant economic solution? Promise every adult American a $5,000 check if Republicans win Congress! Then, at his October 16 rally, Trump joked that at Mar-a-Lago, “for $5,000, you’ll get one hamburger and a small dessert.” He even added, “It’s probably true.” Apparently, the president finds America’s affordability crisis hilarious when he’s the one serving the hamburgers! Congress, Americans need economic leadership, not another campaign promise with no approved funding, delivered by a president who seems more interested in naming everything after himself than addressing rising costs. When did loyalty to one man’s ego become more important than competence, integrity, and the American people? Congress, investigate this administration, demand accountability, and pursue constitutional removal if the evidence warrants it. How much more damage must Americans endure before you act? Your loyalty belongs to the Constitution and the American people not a senile fascist.
