One of the most honest things Trump has ever said: He doesn’t consider how much his reckless war is costing Americans.

Trump will never put you and your family first.
That's why he's content to spend billions on his illegal war against Iran while slashing health care and SNAP benefits for millions of Americans as the cost of gas, groceries, and more soars.

🚨🚨HUGE UPDATE: Senate Democrats forced Republicans to rewrite parts of their ICE and Border Patrol funding bill to add critical protections for children in DHS custody. It’s a win for the rule of law as Democrats continue fighting every provision in this harmful legislation.

Higher grocery bills? Blame the man who doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation.”
ABC News@ABC
Grocery prices in the U.S. soared faster in April than any month in nearly four years, driving up the cost of everything from frankfurters to tomatoes to cupcakes, according to government data. abcnews.link/xPaGhxl

$1 billion for a ballroom.
$13 million for a reflecting pool paint job… executed by a contractor hand-picked by Trump.
And no progress on lowering costs at all.

13 million of your taxpayer dollars. To repaint the Reflecting Pool. To a handpicked contractor with no competitive bidding.
This isn't a vanity project; it's a national scandal.
David Fahrenthold@Fahrenthold
NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show. The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract. nytimes.com/2026/05/11/us/…

Families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, and housing. But Trump and Senate Republicans are focused on spending $1 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars on a golden ballroom for Trump’s billionaire friends to enjoy.
Completely out of touch.

"Enhancements for protectee security" at "frequently visited venues" seems like a long way to say taxpayer funded renovations to Trump-owned golf courses and Mar-a-Lago.
Lisa Desjardins@LisaDNews
READ it here. $1 billion, for what? Here is the one-pager from the WH detailing how it would spend $1 billion on security, a new WH visitor center and other items as part of East Wing/ballroom work.

This is Trump’s fault. He started a reckless war and now YOUR family is paying the price through higher gas and grocery costs.

Trump and Republicans made health care more expensive for MILLIONS of Americans and now they’re being forced to drop their coverage.
Not only did Trump break his promise to lower costs, but he raised costs so much that families are losing health care.
So wrong.

Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense idea is estimated to cost $1.2 trillion over 20 years, according to a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office.
The initial price tag was $175 billion.

Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ giveaway to defense contractors will cost taxpayers at least $1.2 TRILLION.
And this is the same President who said we couldn’t afford to pay for child care. apnews.com/article/trump-…

🚨🚨 According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Trump’s “Golden Dome” project is going to cost us more than $1.2 TRILLION DOLLARS.

Just like the Trump's symbolic renaming of the Department of Defense or his deployment of National Guard troops to our cities, this move to fund the ‘Golden Dome’ will be far more effective at squandering money than protecting American lives. budget.senate.gov/ranking-member…

What does the Republican budget plan do to help working families?
NOTHING.
English
Right now, families are struggling to afford sky-high gas, grocery, and housing prices. But what’s the Republican trifecta prioritizing? Another partisan bill to pour TENS OF BILLIONS of more dollars into ICE chaos and $1 BILLION for Trump’s ballroom.
English
Republicans are pushing a reconciliation bill that would give ICE and Border Patrol almost $70 BILLION for Trump’s lawless federal agents and A BILLION of your tax dollars to fund Trump’s gold-plated ballroom. Madness!
