Mainstream economists warn that Trump's plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of migrant workers, and demand a voice in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies would likely send prices surging.
Perhaps most alarming is what these lies signal for the upcoming election. Tim Alberta, a staff writer at The Atlantic, warned on X: "If you think the lies and distortions and know-nothing takes about FEMA are bad, just wait until this time next month."
Trump’s lies have had real-world consequences; Americans in affected communities have been reluctant to apply for aid, have worried about whether their homes or land will be seized, and have claimed FEMA has ignored or abandoned rescue efforts in communities.

The state court judges will soon decide whether to overrule the will of the voters and hand Griffin an election he lost. Social media posts from 2020 show the judges praising Griffin and feature smiling photos of themselves standing next to him.
Judge Jefferson Griffin lost his race but is still trying to toss out 65,000 votes. At ‘Disenfranchised Disco’ on Friday night, North Carolinians proved that protecting democracy requires mobilization—both on and off the dance floor.
