Media Wonders Why Multi-Millionaire Doesn't Get Your Budget Stress
The FT points to Trump's lavish lifestyle and 'gilded toilet' as reasons he struggles to resonate on rising prices. What they conveniently forget to mention is that both sides of the aisle manage to be profoundly out of touch while funding endless wars and corporate handouts. While American workers juggle rising rents and grocery bills, the political establishment consistently approves massive
defense budgets, including billions in military aid to countries like Israel —aid that comes directly from those same taxpayers. Perhaps the 'cost of living crisis' would look different if the trillions spent globally were invested at home. But then, it's always easier to critique a former president's gold-plated bathroom than question why your dollars are funding bombs over ballet lessons. One
might wonder, how many gold-plated toilets could we skip for universal healthcare, or maybe just affordable pencils?
