THANK YOU MARK LAWS. MANY OF US RETIREES ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU. MY HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE IS ALMOST 6300.00 A YEAR AND I LIVE IN A SMALL HOUSE, 1500 SQ. FT. THEY UPPED THE VALUE OF MY HOUSE TO 118,000.00 ON MY PROPERTY TAX BILL. IT WAS 72,000.00. GROCERIES ARE THRU THE ROOF. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE SOMEONE FIX MY BATHROOM. I DRIVE MY 2018 VEHICLE 3 TIMES A MONTH AND PAY OVER 1000.00 DOLLARS EVERY SIX MONTHS FOR AUTO INSURANCE. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU MARK LAWS.

@@rickteeden8656 Should be no tax on Social Security as SS is paid for by taxes. I'm on SS and if I hire someone to do a job and pay them a $1000.00, the govt will tax that $1000.00 I paid that worker again and when he spends that and files his tax return it's taxed again so in effect it's quadruple taxation and even more and the govt eventually ends up with that $1000.00 I initially paid out and that $1000.00 is paid to me thru taxation. What a racket!!!!

A true American citizen telling the truth about how hard it is to pay bills and live under Biden's disastrous economy! We need Trump! He truly cares about us!

[@moonbuni59]

Real man with real problems. My husband and I are on a fixed income also. We are getting by, but we are also carrying our handicapped daughter who is not working because her company went out of business and she hasn’t been able to find a job. This while also trying to help our daughter and son in law finish their basement so they will have more room for their family since they can’t afford a larger house. Where we used to be able to save money, now we are lucky to have any left. The end of the month. I understand this man’s pain.

[@Arby1965]

Trump looks sad here. Imagine what his thoughts are now. That at anytime it could happen again. You can see it on him. He has lost another piece of his personal freedom. What he's went through would have put most of us in an institution.

[@Jemma29]

As much as I love Trump, it’s nice to see him humble. It’s going to show him in a better light. Hopefully he’s doing okay.

[@IshayuG]

He’s not sad, but he is on the verge of tears. He’s been on an incredible journey that has shaken him deeply. Not all tears are of evil, not all wanderers are lost.

[@mirnanalphierandoms5488]

Trump is an employer he hires gives jobs to millions of people and 401ks in all of his businesses. What other Ex President does that? Obama bush biden Clinton who ? Are they hiring anyone. They care non of them own businesses.

Woohoo! A man from Michigan (my home state). He is a regular man, not in politics at all, just speaking the everyday man's dilemma. It doesn't matter what side of the political fence you sit... we all put our pants on one leg at a time. We all bleed when we get cut. We all live in this great nation we call home. We should all LOVE our home and want to stand up to fight for what is right. Fight with our vote not with our fists. Love our fellow brothers and sisters. At the end of the day, we are all the same. I don't care if you like a D, I, or R. You are still a person... never forget that! You are still a person! I think of the words to the song "America the beautiful": 'America, America, God shed his grace on thee, and crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining Sea.'
