Hello, I am Alex and I usually track the unemployment rate, egg/beef costs, gas prices, inflation and others at Trump administration. But the numbers are no longer enough. Actions speak just as strongly.

Somehow we left a lot in this man’s hands.

And this person? Well, he has been giving Major ✨Marie Antoinette Energy late lately.
You know Marie, the French Queen, who became a symbol of the rich and powerful during the French Revolution. She lived in wealth while many were starving and was most popularly attributed to the phrase: “Let them eat a cake!” At that time, her items were starving and had no money for bread (let alone a cake that was Even more expensive).

Consider how, for example, nearly 70% of Americans say they are experiencing financial stress against the background of ever -rising prices. Meanwhile, the Trump administration boasts about all the money that is assumed to have been made from tariffs – also known as money, partially come directly from your pockets through these rising prices. (At least Marie did not hear her people starve and then add an additional tax on bread.)
For many online relationships of leaders with their dissatisfied and financially struggling public, they are not where the similarities end. Instead, the looking overlap seems to be the extravagant costs of Marie and Trump.

Connected: Donald Trump has just shared a very sinister post and people call him “one of the oldest statements made by an ever -stuck US president”
Including gold -white ballroom, which is expected to cost about $ 200 million.

And just like the French in the 1790s, the Americans are less than impressed.
“The construction of a giant ballroom while half of the country loses healthcare and is in poverty and cannot find a home or rent … I have the feeling that I am reading about France before a revolution,” one user wrote.
“Listen to man if you want to live in Versailles Palace, then it’s good, but you can’t act surprised when people eventually start to sharpen the guillotine,” added another hyperbolic. (This particular tweet was among the most common, with 3.3 million views.)
Sigh. This administration has promised to get rid of wasteful government spending. That was the whole point of Dodge. Still, we are placing gold on the walls of the White House and building ballrooms at $ 200 million, while nearly 14 million children are starving in the United States by 2023. Maybe the call comes from the House.
