- Trump: Great news! I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration's request to celebrate our great Country's 250th birthday. Walmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products. This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A. My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures. Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too, just like egg and Prescription Drug prices which I am bringing down by historic levels. Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before! President DONALD J. TRUMP
- "Worst storm damage since Sandy yet Sherrill hasn't declared a regional state of emergency that can unlock vital resources support for our towns.
Why?
Because a state-level declaration is a prerequisite to Federal help, and Sherrill doesn't want to give the Trump administration any opportunity for a victory in New Jersey. She doesn't care how much our people need help.Sherrill's mind is still stuck on WASHINGTON, DC when it should be on the people of NEW JERSEY. When will her Democrat colleague, and your District 25 Assemblywoman, Marisa Sweeney, will call Sherrill out on this hypocrisy?"
