Instead, inflation is meaningfully higher than when he took office, as his reckless tariff taxes and disastrous war in the Middle East drive up prices on everything from gas to groceries to health care.

Democrats won’t stand for it.
That money should go toward lowering costs for families.
Inflation is currently higher than when the president took office.
Gas prices are substantially higher than when the president took office.
Unemployment is higher than when the president took office.
The administration is completely out of touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Mother’s Day!

By creating a permanent market with modern amenities and plenty of gathering space, the new Grandview Station will boost economic development and provide a place for neighbors to connect.

While the president may not mind skyrocketing gas prices, hardworking Missouri families are being crushed as they are forced to spend more every time they fill up the tank due to the disastrous war in the Middle East.
