Friends,
President Trump has been making some unbelievable claims about the economy lately:
“Incomes are rising, grocery prices are way down, energy prices are way down. Mortgage prices are down.”
And the most ridiculous one… “Inflation has been defeated.”
I can’t even listen to all of it because, frankly, it’s sick. The President is talking about prices being down — but he’s living in a bubble where foreign governments shower him with cash, he’s letting his kids do crypto and real-estate deals, and members of his Cabinet are making themselves rich with insider contracts. All while Virginians and Americans are suffering!
Grocery costs are up. Healthcare costs are up. Energy costs are up. Food, school supplies, building supplies — all up. Families are paying more for the holidays this year than last year.
And instead of being honest about it, Trump is firing economists at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and telling them not to release the real data. He can try to hide the numbers, but families know exactly what they’re spending at the checkout line.
Americans aren’t fooled, and neither am I.
Trump’s economic policies — especially his reckless and illegal across-the-board tariffs — are driving prices up and pushing small businesses, farmers, and families to the brink.
I’ve been battling Trump’s tariff idiocy in the Senate from Day One, forcing votes to try to give families the relief this President refuses to provide. But I need your voice in this fight.
Will you add your name to say you stand with me against Trump’s economic gaslighting and out-of-control tariffs?
