Trump Put Extra $10,000 in Your Pocket


Democrats will take it away if they win, warns Dick Morris.

n 2017, when donald trump took office, the medi- an after-infl ation household income was $78,000. In 2025, it was $88,000, adjusted for infl ation.


An extra $10,000. And how much


of that gain took place under Biden? $500.


Trump put almost $10,000 in your


pocket. How is that for aff ordability? And his second term is only


half over. During his fi rst term, after-infl a-


tion household income rose by $6,500. So far in his second term, it’s up

But it will be won through a negative campaign explaining what democratic socialism really means — defunding the police, abolishing ICE, opening our borders, letting men dominate women’s sports, ending deportations of criminals, and curbing economic growth. The growing insanity of the Demo-

(and admitted) socialists in the House next year. If the Democrats do manage to take over control by a slim margin — which they won’t — this caucus of socialists will control the party by threatening to withhold their votes unless they get to pass their agenda. Don’t vote for the longtime Democrat who has repre-


sented your district in Congress for years. He may be a moderate, and may have voted that


way, but he will have to move way over left to accom- modate his new masters — the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
