We’re Putting Up Billboards Across America Slamming Trump’s Ballroom

Ads to blanket eight cities contrasting the ballroom with people’s skyrocketing prices.

Americans are struggling as prices continue to skyrocket, thanks to the unnecessary war Donald Trump launched in Iran, and the economic cataclysm it set off. Plus Trump’s tariffs, which are effectively a new tax on all Americans. The result: Right now Americans are paying drastically more for just about everything—gas, groceries, health care, travel, you name it—compared to when he took office.

Is Trump laser-focused on addressing those issues? Of course not. This administration isn’t even pretending to care about the price hikes Americans are facing.

Instead, Trump seems monomaniacally obsessed with his White House ballroom, a vanity project that he promised would be privately funded, but which will instead cost the taxpayers billions. And he’s fixated on other trivialities like re-surfacing the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall, putting up a gargantuan arch that would sully the hallowed ground outside Arlington National Cemetery, and even a golden statue of himself outside of one of his golf courses.

Here at Home of the Brave, we think it’s important to make the president’s inverted priorities perfectly clear to the American people. That’s why, starting today, we’re out with a brand-new six-figure campaign to put up billboards in eight major cities across the country—Omaha, Des Moines, Salt Lake City, New York City, Austin, Nashville, Phoenix, and Columbus—bearing a very simple, straightforward message: Trump is focused on his ballroom. Not your grocery prices. Not your healthcare. Not your gas prices. Not you.

Check them out here:

Our New York City billboard will run right in the heart of Times Square—which has some of the densest foot-traffic in the country—where we’ll remind people just how little Trump cares about their financial struggles. And these aren’t just New Yorkers; people visiting from all over the country will see our message.

Home of the Brave exists to show Americans the real-world consequences of this administration’s policies, and to highlight what bravery looks like in defense of American democracy. Here’s our only ask: If you support this kind of work, consider making a contribution or becoming a paid subscriber today.
