Donald Trump and Mike Johnson just handed Republicans another political grenade. House Republicans approved $60 billion more for Trump’s escalating Iran war, even as polling shows that most Americans believe the war was not worth fighting.
That same amount of money could fund childcare across the country, make public college tuition-free for a year, or restore healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans. But when working families need help, Republicans suddenly discover fiscal responsibility. When Trump wants bombs, Mike Johnson opens the vault.
The backlash is already spreading, including among Republican and MAGA voters worried about rising costs and gas prices. Trump wanted another war. Republicans may have just funded their own midterm disaster.
