John,
Is this a joke?
RFK Jr. called me out personally for saying Trump is “on the side of the oligarchs.” According to him,
“There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump."
Rubbish!
There’s never been a president LESS willing to stand up to oligarchs than Donald Trump.
In this week’s video, let’s take a look at what standing up to the “oligarchs” actually means for Trump and his family – by far the most corrupt President in our history. Then share the video with your friends and family as an antidote to RFK Jr.’s blatant lie.
Since RFK Jr. apparently needs a refresher, here’s what an oligarchy actually is:
Oligarchy (noun): Government of and by a few wealthy elites, who exercise power over our democracy and economy for their own benefit.
Trump started his second term with the richest men on the planet by his side at his inauguration. What’s he done since? He’s enabled billionaires like Elon Musk to avoid accountability. He’s directly enriched his own family through crypto scams. He’s planning to accept a $400 million airplane as a gift from Qatar, while gutting Medicaid and cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. Hello?
It might not be clear to RFK Jr., but it’s becoming clearer to the rest of the American public. Donald Trump isn’t standing up to the oligarchs – he is one of them.
And thank you for helping get the word out by sharing our videos on your social media!
