Trump promised to drain the swamp, end forever wars, and fix the economy. 18 months in, here's what he actually delivered, and why you should not vote Republican this November: The economy Diesel over $6.50 a gallon, regular near $4.50, beef prices spiking, and his own cabinet's answer was to tell you to eat chicken and raise backyard chickens instead. Government-sponsored greedflation is running out of control. His tariffs became a massive national tax on working and middle-class families and small businesses, and cost so much in farm exports he's already spent $12 billion on bailouts with another $11 billion requested, most of it going to the biggest farms, not the ones actually hurting. Meanwhile, pesticide companies and other big corporations were handed liability shields so they can't be sued. His fix for housing was a 50-year mortgage gimmick scam. The war He launched an unauthorized, offensive war of choice on Iran with no declaration, no vote, and is still shooting seven months later while he calls it won, wasting upwards of $100 billion, spiking gas prices, and likely leaving taxpayers with a $300 billion bill to repair what was destroyed. He threatened to annex Greenland, take the Panama Canal by force, and took shots at Canada, alienating allies for nothing. His forces executed over 200 people in fishing boat strikes off Venezuela and the Caribbean with no due process, just a presumption of guilt and a missile, on top of a barbaric embargo illegally strangling Cuban civilians and starving them of critical resources. The corruption They’ve been by far the most corrupt administration in history with brazen insider trading from Trump himself, backroom deals we have never seen before, a $16 million no-bid pool contract handed to a major donor, and a Pentagon caught secretly paying political influencers, one of whom ran an op against a sitting Congressman before his own primary. They used the full power of the DOJ to protect a ring of pedophilic criminals, releasing the Epstein files in name only (and not even in full) with zero new indictments. A gold-plated new ballroom for the elites while Americans barely pay for gas and suffer under inflation. The surveillance state They have fully removed any pretext of following the Constitution. ICE has supercharged paramilitary agents in unmarked vans grabbing people off the street, destroying communities, and murdering people both in facilities and broad daylight, costing over $100 billion. Trump personally fully supports more warrantless FISA spying, nationwide Flock camera networks with zero public vote, and government kill switches in your car. He handed record-breaking funding to wealthy corporations to build mass surveillance data centers that residents don't want and that poison local environments. Record breaking funding of Palantir. And they used "waste and fraud" as the excuse to build a citizen data-tracking machine to get our IDs, all while handing the Pentagon a record $1.5 trillion with no real audit. The debt $40 trillion and counting, the fastest debt growth of any president on record, in real terms. This isn't normal policy disagreement anymore. Vote against Trump. Vote against every Republican enabling this. Vote for anyone else.
