What in the actual fuck is he even rambling on about? Oh my god, this is hard to watch.

My basic spending went up at least 700.00 in the last month. Bare minimums. I cant cut anymore costs.This was mostly from food and household needs

In 2017, Republicans slashed the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, giving massive corporations their biggest tax windfall since Ronald Reagan was president. A few years later, as Americans emerged from a global pandemic, these same corporations drove up prices for families.

While inflation hamstrung workers and families, it didn’t make a dent in corporate profits. In fact, as many CEOs boasted themselves, it’s been a boon. Companies simply passed rising costs along to consumers — and then some, bringing in record profits as a result.

All told, corporate profit margins skyrocketed to 70 year-highs. And by the end of 2023, when Americans were beyond fed up, after-tax corporate profits hit an all-time record high of $2.8 trillion

Those numbers aren't even true. I know we spend almost 500 more in just groceries. As a 2 person house hold, with 2 incomes at almost 120k a year. We can't buy a house, we can't get a new vehicle and need one. Because we spend may more on rent, food, electricity and gas. It's crazy how much of our income goes towards everyday items. Also, I work where those unemployment numbers are lied about so much that the funding has been cut over the last 3 years, so much so that they are taking some of the most drastic actions people have ever seen at this place.

I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47, 000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️

[susandilley]

My Liability Car Insurance went up 50%? I get 23.00 dollars for food stamps, I pay co Insurance where l have to cancel my Cardiologist appt., and other appointments? No money! IM 65 AND TAKE CARE OF MY 69 YEAR OLD DISABLED SISTER! SHAME ON THEM. I HAVE FAITH IN GOD. ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISIABILITY?

[jonnellburgess]

I certainly hope you do something about Social Security. That its our money and we want it for the American people's needs

[HVSK.__]

I challenge anyone to watch his speeches and also watch Kamala Harris's speeches, and THEN make your educated decision on who you are going to vote for. 🇺🇲 Harris/Walz 2024

[magdalenamillares]

I think President Trump gave a great press conference. Touched all the important problems our country has right now. And gave answers of how the country can be great again. President Trump 2024.✊✊✊✊

[emmethurley]

Beyond 100% of job creation has gone to migrants? I don't get it. Someone explain

[richardryken]

That's the kind of president America needs good heart, kind loving and care about the people's. Thank you Mr. Trump

[janetmullenger-barnard]

The whole world has production issues, expensive food, increased cost of living. It’s not just America.

[markdi]

God bless Donald Trump best president ever

[dannywitt]

Trump telling the truth is not criticism.

[ms.cooper]

Everyone is talking about Trump's press conference and not Biden Harris out in Maryland together today. Meanwhile Trump is changing the campaign game where he doesn't need to spend on ads; instead, he's holding press conferences like he is in the white house which are being covered for free by every medium such as this. #freeadswingoestotrump😢

[tabethabillings]

[derrickforbes]

Donald Trump just tried out a new strategy at his latest press conference by inviting reporters who are supportive of him. This turned out to be a great move because it cut out a lot of the usual chaos and hostility. Instead, he got to answer serious questions and speak directly to the American people in a respectful and clear way. It was really effective.
