The senators criticized Trump for not fulfilling his promises\u2063 and accused him of supporting billionaires at the expense of everyday Americans.<\/p>\n<p>the initiative quickly went \u2064viral, but it faced\u2063 backlash for a perceived lack of\u2062 originality in its execution, prompting some commentators, including Rep.

Ed Markey (D-MA), who, at 78 years old, opted to switch out the curse words for &ldquo;wicked false.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Since Day One of Donald Trump&rsquo;s presidency, prices are up, not down.&nbsp;Inflation is getting worse, not better.&nbsp;Prices of groceries, gas, housing, rent, eggs &mdash; they&rsquo;re all getting more expensive,&rdquo; the senators say. &ldquo;Meanwhile, Donald Trump has done nothing to lower costs for you. Instead, he&rsquo;s done things like pardon violent criminals who beat police officers on January 6th. He&rsquo;s letting Elon Musk take a chainsaw to vital government programs for Americans and giving him access to Americans&rsquo; most sensitive data&ndash; Social Security numbers, tax returns, healthcare records, and more.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>They go on to accuse Trump and Musk of &ldquo;cutting critical services for you in order to make room for more tax cuts for billionaires like them&rdquo; because &ldquo;the Republican plan is simple: you lose, and billionaires win.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Several edits of all the available videos mashed into one clip immediately picked up steam.
