Trump's Disastrous Saturday: Inflation Surges, Epstein Lies Exposed, and Golden Arch Obsession Continues
Wall Street Journal Op-Ed Deception
Donald Trump is spiraling after devastating economic data revealed surging inflation on Friday. In response, he purchased an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal claiming his economy is "fantastic"—then had the White House post it as if the Journal had written an article praising him.
Trump's false claims in the op-ed:
- "Extremely low inflation and extraordinarily high economic growth"
- "Tariff burden has fallen overwhelmingly on foreign producers"
- "I inherited an economy ravaged by radical Biden policies"
The actual Friday economic data:
- December PPI inflation: 3% (above 2.7% expectations)
- Core PPI inflation: 3.3% (above 2.9% expectations)
- Core PPI at highest level since July 2025
- Inflation clearly being passed to consumers through higher grocery and retail prices
Economists universally praised Biden's economy as "the envy of the world" and a "Goldilocks economy"—just right. Trump inherited economic success and is destroying it while gaslighting Americans about rising costs.
The Golden Arch: Trump's Hitler-Scale Monument
While Americans struggle with inflation and healthcare costs, Trump obsesses over vanity projects:
The Washington Post reports:
- Trump wants a 250-foot triumphal arch for America's 250th anniversary
- Would tower over memorials, blocking Lincoln Memorial views
- Experts say it's "just too big" and would fundamentally alter DC's skyline
- Would be the second-largest triumphal arch ever designed
The only larger arch ever planned? Hitler's never-built 383-foot arch in Berlin.
More Taxpayer-Funded Trump Fantasies
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted images promoting additional absurd projects:
- Grand Prix racetrack around the Capitol building
- 100,000-person UFC stadium near the White House
- "Golden ballroom" at federal building (likely to be blocked by federal judge)
Americans want healthcare, education, and peace—not race tracks and combat arenas funded with their tax dollars.
Epstein Files Expose More Trump Regime Lies
As Trump withholds an estimated 3 million additional Epstein documents, new revelations demolish his inner circle's denials:
Howard Lutnik's lies unravel:
- Claimed he met Epstein once in 2005, found him "creepy," never spoke again
- Emails reveal extensive communications about island visits
- Discussed bringing his children to Epstein's island
- Epstein donated $50,000 to Lutnik when he received an award in 2017
- Multiple messages coordinating meetings and hangouts
Elon Musk's disturbing requests:
- "Dozens and dozens" of emails to Epstein
- Asked repeatedly about visiting the island
- Wanted to know Epstein's "wildest days"
- Stated he didn't want to visit when things were "tame"
- Sought the "craziest" party experiences
Trump DOJ's suspicious document handling: The Department of Justice removed then restored allegations from 13 and 14-year-old girls making horrific claims against Trump, including allegations about measuring their bodies at "calendar parties." The DOJ acted only after Midas Touch saved and posted the documents.
Minnesota Fraud Claims: More Lies
Trump posted that Minnesota fraud is "far greater than the $19 billion originally projected"—a completely fabricated number with no basis in reality. Biden's Department of Justice was actively prosecuting fraud cases until those prosecutors engaged in mass resignations after Trump weaponized the DOJ.
Meanwhile, Trump pardons the biggest drug traffickers and fraudsters—including the former president of Honduras, convicted of smuggling hundreds of millions of doses of cocaine into America.
Pete Buttigieg: "That Is Not America"
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a military veteran who served in Afghanistan, spoke about the murder of Alex Prey galvanizing Americans against Trump's regime:
"Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, and then being shot in the back up to 10 times... When you see an American woman opening her door to find half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan—most people get that is wrong."
As Trump entertains Nicki Minaj in the Oval Office wearing "Trump 2028" hats and builds monuments to himself, Americans suffer under his catastrophic economic policies and paramilitary domestic operations.
