Are these policies America First?

Trump’s newest fiction comes with a price tag: $40 billion to Argentina. It’s not aid, it’s a favor — a payoff to Wall Street insiders and political loyalists who bankrolled his second term.

While American farmers drown under tariffs and export bans, Trump’s cronies are cashing foreign checks.

And right on cue, he approves a Qatari airbase in Idaho, conveniently following his Doha golf course deal. Rick Wilson calls it what it is: a presidential pay-to-play scheme on a global scale.

But Trump’s authoritarian impulses don’t stop at the border. At home, armed agents act as his private militia, silencing dissent and intimidating journalists under vague “national security” orders.

None of this is America First. It’s Trump first, American working class LAST.

Trump has never been "america first"

This isn’t leadership — it’s monarchy cosplay with taxpayer funding.
