American oil companies have made more than $130 BILLION in profit during Trump’s war with Iran.
Americans have paid an extra $147 billion at the pump over the same stretch, about $1,100 per household.
He called it “a frickin fortune.” He was right about who’s getting it.
NEW REPORT: The average American household has had to spend an estimated $4,700 more on everyday essentials under Trump, and less than two years into his second term, 79 percent of voters disapprove of the job he is doing on the cost of living.

JUST IN: The US still has an inflation problem and it's getting worse again.
PCE Inflation rose to 3.6% in September. That's the highest since May.
Core PCE Inflation (excludes food and energy) ticked up to 3.1%. That's also the highest since May.
Bottom line: Inflation is back near a 3-year high. It's largely due to war in Iran, but there's legitimate concern that inflation is spreading beyond energy.

Kansas families have spent $4,400 more on everyday necessities like gas and groceries since the start of 2025. @DefendUSAAction

Under Trump:
Diesel prices ⬆️ 72%
Gas prices ⬆️ 53%
Beef prices ⬆️ 17%
Trump’s message to working-class voters? If you can’t afford groceries, maybe you should try a $5,000 hamburger at Mar-a-Lago.
This is how out of touch with reality this guy is.

It's been 8 months of Trump's Iran war and there's no end in sight.
Servicemembers have died. The cost of gas has skyrocketed.
And while Americans have suffered, Donald Trump has cashed in.
We deserve better.

He’s lying.
He started a war with Iran in February. It’s still going. Eight months. $47 billion. Oil from $72 a barrel to $110. Gas from $2.98 to $4.27. Diesel at $6.35. About $1,100 out of the average household.
He says it ends “whenever I want it to end.” It hasn't.
“I voted for him, I can’t lie. But seeing how he’s just been a tyrant with his power... Starting wars that were not needed to be started. Gas prices have continuously gone up.”
That’s a Trump voter in East Lansing, Michigan.

$47 BILLION. Eight months. Gas from $2.98 to $4.27. American bases hit by missiles.
Trump says the war ends “whenever I want it to end.”
So WHEN?
Trump stood in Texas yesterday and called $4.27 gas “short-term pain.”
The pain is eight months old. Gas was $2.98 before he started this war.

JUST IN: Pentagon tells Congress the Iran military operation has cost American taxpayers $47,100,000,000.00.
Trump started this war in February and said it would be short. Eight months later it has cost $47 BILLION, gas is over $4 a gallon, and he’s talking about restarting the bombing next week.

Nothing more terrifying than Trump's economy this Halloween.
Candy prices are through the roof:
Hershey Seasonal Peanut Butter Cups: +23%
Hershey Hard Candies: +19%
Ferrero Chocolate Pack: +19%
Mars Chocolate Variety Pack: +13%
Tootsie Variety Pack: +5%
NYT EDITORIAL BOARD: "Voters should keep in mind Mr. Trump’s failure to keep his campaign promises, his attempts to undermine American democracy and his flagrant corruption."

“My people said, please don’t mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher.”
“I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune.”
Trump on gas prices, Saturday. It’s now more expensive under him than it was under Biden.
Trump’s own advisers asked him not to bring up gas prices at his rally.
He said this instead: “I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune.”
Gas is $4.29 a gallon. Diesel is $6.35.

Working families feel Trump’s economy every single day, at the gas station, at the grocery store, and at the kitchen table where they sort through the bills.
They’re done waiting for him to keep his promise to bring costs down.

The scariest thing about Halloween this year? Trump's economy.
Candy prices are up 15.3%, FOUR TIMES the rate of overall inflation.
Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, they're making Halloween more expensive for you.
The average Pennsylvania household has paid more than $5,100 in extra costs since Trump returned to office.
$1,100 on housing.
$673 on gas.
$440 on electricity.
$300 on groceries.
And more.

Two-thirds of Americans now think Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself.
That’s up 10 points in a year.
Gallup says perceptions of government corruption in this country are at a multi-decade high.
