Conservative-Led Group Torches Donald Trump's Cost-Of-Living Record In New Ad Blitz

A conservative-led group on Monday morning launched a $15 million blitz that aims to highlight how Donald Trump is making everyday life more expensive for millions of Americans. Home Of The Brave’s “Sticker Shock Summer” initiative seeks to “educate Americans on how the administration’s tariffs, war in Iran, One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and other policies have directly contributed to the affordability crisis,” per a press release sent to HuffPost.

It also wants to turn Americans’ “hopelessness into action by calling on lawmakers in Congress and the administration to pursue reforms that bring costs down,” said the group, which launched in June 2025 with multiple anti-Trump Republicans and conservatives on its board.

The campaign “will center on a simple reality: Summer is supposed to be a season of vacations, barbecues, road trips, and a little breathing room,” it stated. “But for millions of Americans, the cost of summer fun has gone up. Gas, flights, hotels, restaurants, groceries, electricity, and everyday seasonal items are all more expensive — and the Trump administration’s policy choices are a major reason why.”

The initial phase of the campaign will invest $1 million in hundreds of billboards across 16 states. See just one of the examples here:

Guess Bozo dropped the ball on like, the only two things that were ham-handed attempts at any sort of coherent policy people could believe they could hang a hat on and actually point to.

Not trying to give any credit, just saying it's pretty easy stuff to see was obviously NOT done, and is actually the exact OPPOSITE of any campaign "promises", if could you call them that with a straight face.

Anyhow, ""Liar, liar pants on fire!" Apparently, the checkbooks are taking some notice lately.
