Can someone tell me Trump's economic agenda?

For example, how would he combat inflation? Housing prices? Healthcare? Anything. Any part of his economic agenda.

Most people cannot answer this question bc the media never asks Trump about his policies. He's just displayed for entertainment reasons.

MCG (Australia) parking situation for Swift shows confuses Americans

More than 280,000 fans filtered into the MCG over three days to see Taylor Swift take the stage and many people overseas had the same question: where did everyone park their cars?


To cater to the 90,000+ people going to the Eras Tour in Melbourne, extra train and tram services were offered over the three nights. The MCG is near two train stations and there are plenty of tram stops around Yarra Park.

Americans do not have the "freedom" that we think that we do. We are constantly forced to live a certain way because of lobbying by powerful interests. Even when other countries do things better, education, public transportation, healthcare, etc., we are told over and over again and again that it won't work here. Everything in America exists, not for the public good, but because it puts money in some rich person's pockets.

Wanna see a rich, fat cat rolling around in money?

This is what happens when you cut taxes on the rich. They just roll around in it.

If Trump was shown pics of his ex-wives and then given pics of his children, would he be able to...

match the pic of his kid to the correct ex-wife? How do you think he'll do?

The other side of Trump's delaying tactics is increased legal fees.

Every delay tactic tasks his legal team to draft and write briefs in support of various motions. This also means appearing in various courts to argue his motions. Attorneys, paralegals, and other staff bill clients by the hour. Drafting a SCOTUS brief is a particular daunting task that requires hours to prepare

Trump spent $51 million in 2023, and he hasn't even gone to trial yet for most of his cases. Throw in the civil court judgments against him along with the cost of appealing, and he legal/financial troubles are quickly spiraling out of control.

Donald Trump will likely drain his war chest for legal fees this summer, leaving the GOP frontrunner crunched for cash just as his presidential campaign ramps up spending for an expected rematch with President Joe Biden.

Trump spent $51.2 million in 2023 on legal expenses, and can tap another $23.5 million, most of it stashed in an allied super political action committee that he can use to pay his lawyers. But as his four criminal cases ramp up, those funds are expected to run out at a critical time — around July, when the Republican National Convention triggers the official start to the general election campaign.

"(P)ermissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with" - Merriam Webster

I believe that I am owed a better grade from multiple English teachers. Where do I sue?

It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with.

The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

Don't worry GOP. Lara Trump is coming to save you.

This woman cut her teeth running local, city, state, and federal campaigns. She brings years and years and years of hard boiled political experience. She knows how to fund raise. She knows how to organize. She knows how to divvy up money to struggling campaigns.

Put all of your faith (and money) into her hands. She's got you.
