When Trump was accused of committing fraud by lying to banks, his lawyers argued, "Everyone does things like this, so what's the big deal?" But now that he’s back in office, Trump seems to have decided that telling banks things that aren’t true while seeking loans is a very big deal after all.

We cannot just be an opposition party, but must also be a proposition party — to show the American people what we will fight for. Addressing the affordability crisis. Ending corruption. Creating a fair tax system. That’s what Americans deserve.

One of Trump's first actions was to pardon Jan 6 insurrections. He offered a “get out of jail free” card to people who committed violence on his behalf.   And he continues to spew hateful rhetoric towards his political opponents. This will only fuel more violence.
