(DCNF)—A panel of undecided voters featured on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” unanimously raised their hands when asked if former President Donald Trump’s economic policies would be better for their families.
Around one in five homeowners and renters said they are skipping meals to afford housing under President Joe Biden’s economy, according to a Friday survey conducted by real estate company Redfin. The undecided voters, which included Americans from Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, cited housing and inflation for preferring Trump’s policies.
“I think he’s been absolutely disastrous for the economy,” a Wisconsin voter named Nathan said.
All eight voters raised their hands when asked if they “think President Trump’s policies on the economy would be better for your family, personally.”
The consumer price index (CPI), a broad measure of the price of everyday goods, jumped 3.5% on an annual basis in March and 0.4% month-over-month, according to the Wednesday Bureau of Labor Statistics release.
“We have areas here in Pennsylvania where it’s just at a standstill right now. Like, things are supposed to be being built and the interest rates are just way too high for people to, you know, invest and start moving around,” a Pennsylvania voter named Virginia said. “The interest rate is so high right now and I know they’re trying to cut the inflation down, but like, if nobody is building, no businesses are really coming to Pennsylvania right now to keep us moving forward.”
Tenisha, a Michigan voter, said she is having difficulty purchasing a home for the first time.
“I feel like he doesn’t even take accountability at all with what’s going on,” Gigi, a Pennsylvania voter, said. “Not even accountability, like he’s in denial that it’s happening.”
A Michigan voter named Omar, who previously voted for Biden, said the former president is “gaslighting” the American people.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
