The Trump Disaster Loop: Start an illegal war with Iran → Cause gas prices to surge → Lift Russian oil sanctions to fix the problem you created → Russia gets richer while Ukraine remains under attack.

Trump is using the failed Republican playbook that turned surpluses into deficits 25 years ago: tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy plus reckless spending on foreign wars.
Meanwhile, families at home are turning to GoFundMe just to cover basic needs like rent and doctor’s visits.

Trump is costing us BILLIONS with his illegal war—as prices rise everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store.

⛽️ Gas prices surging $.60/gallon because of Trump's unconstitutional war
When is Trump going to take responsibility for HIS economy?

Trump’s team of Epstein class advisors says it out loud more often than you’d think:
“consumers are the last of our concern right now”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

The Trump administration is saying the quiet part out loud: the higher costs you're paying are the LAST of their concern.

First it was $1 billion a day, now it's $2 billion a day.
The cost of Donald Trump's war with Iran keeps going up and up.
And American taxpayers are footing the bill.
Catie Edmondson@CatieEdmondson
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran would exceed $11.3 billion in the first six days alone. nytimes.com/2026/03/11/wor…

The “we” he’s referring to is big oil companies. Not the American people.
You’re paying more at the pump, while Trump’s rich friends cash in.

Elon Musk and billionaires get a tax cut. 7 million Americans with Alzheimer’s get further from a cure.
As a caregiver, I am sick and tired of this. We must fund medical research. Millions of American families depend on it.
Dr. Catharine Young@DrCatharineY
We were told NIH funding cuts were about eliminating DEI. But the data now shows grants are down across nearly every field of medicine: cancer, diabetes, mental health, brain disorders. With the greatest cuts hitting Alzheimer’s research, down more than 50%.

Trump caused a $.60/gallon gas increase with his illegal war on Iran. And by lifting Russian oil sanctions to fix it—he’s funding Putin’s war on Ukraine. Bankrolling two illegal wars while families struggle to afford health care and housing at home.

Trump has spent more than $11 BILLION on his unauthorized war on Iran. But when it comes to helping families get health care, groceries, or housing, Republicans say we just can’t afford it.

DOGE was never about eliminating waste, fraud, or abuse—it was about purging hardworking, dedicated public servants to consolidate Trump’s power.
No taxpayer money saved, Americans’ personal information exposed, key agencies gutted. Total failure.
Emily Davies@ELaserDavies
A year after DOGE purged hundreds of thousands of federal employees, the Trump administration is ramping up hiring. “We probably have some skills that we now need to hire back, quite frankly," the OPM director told me. With the great @MerylKornfield: washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

NEWS w/ @JakeSherman @LauraEWeiss16: President Trump dismissed the Capitol's fight over housing in a private conversation this week with Speaker Johnson. Trump is fixated on SAVE. Johnson told committee leaders Tuesday that Trump told him: “no one gives a [bleep] about housing"
ZXX
Same guy who told Mike Johnson that “Nobody gives a sh*t about housing!”

Trump earlier this week: “Nobody gives a sh*t about housing!”

Our troops. Veterans. Rural Americans. The middle class. The poor. White, Black, Brown. Young. Old. Middle aged.
EVERYONE is paying the price for Trump’s relentless attack on health care.

As many as 724,000 service members, their families and veterans may rely on health care at hospitals that face financial vulnerability, partly due to cuts in President Trump's megabill, according to a new analysis. abcnews.link/8NCwSVl

116,000 Minnesotans lost health care coverage this year. Highest uninsured rate in almost ten years.
Fund health care. Not this war.

DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigra…
