Donald Trump Promotes Melania’s Movie to Billionaires As His Admin Unleashes Violence and Drives the Economy into a Ditch Arrow

As the country reels from another killing by masked federal immigration agents in Minnesota and the economy continues to tank, Donald Trump is busy promoting Melania Trump's new $35 million documentary, which was directed by disgraced director and Epstein-associate Brett Ratner. Trump even hosted a private screening for the "Melania" movie with his billionaire buddies and wealthy donors just hours after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:

"It's no question where Donald Trump's priorities lie. As Americans grapple with the killing of another American citizen at the hands of Trump's federal agents in Minneapolis and the impacts of his cratering economy, Trump is focused on promoting Melania's new documentary and his $400 million White House ballroom. Trump is more concerned about his personal wealth and his lavish lifestyle than the issues Americans care about most. When will Trump put his ego aside to put everyday Americans first?"

Over the past few days, Trump has been focused on boosting Melania's new documentary and finishing his $400 million ballroom as he deflects responsibility for the violence by federal immigration agents to Border Czar Tom Homan.

Meanwhile, families paid $1,625 more during his first year back in office, including $310 on grocery costs, due to Trump's inflation. It's no wonder two-thirds of voters say they think a middle-class lifestyle is out of reach, and a majority of voters feel that Trump is focused on the wrong priorities.
