Olivia Danielle had her arms crossed and a look of exasperation on her face while out in the Miami heat on Wednesday. She told MS NOW, “Oh, that’s very frustrating. I actually hear that and — like I said, I don’t do the politics and stuff like that, but to hear that come from another American who is not getting $2 million put in their pocket.”
The reporter corrected her, saying it was “billion.” She made it clear to most folks, whether it’s $2 million, $2 billion or $2 trillion it’s a lot of money to most Americans.
“That’s a lot of money, and that would help out a lot of people around here, a lot of homeless people,” she continued. “You can open shelters. You could really help somebody out with that.”
Allen Warfield told reporters, “Somebody’s making money on the side, and it’s not me. So, all I got to say.”

The reporter asked if it was frustrating, and Warfield agreed it was, noting he’s “watching the president get richer, and the middle class get poorer.”
Jerry Lepore agreed, telling a reporter, “Life in America right now — the economy is tough. People are struggling. You know. Hopefully it’ll change.”
Kevin Chavez recalled Trump’s 2024 “promises” and noted that the president “made them seem like they were going to come a lot quicker, faster than they actually were to ever come or ever will come. Like 90 percent of all the elections in the past, you know the candidates, they promised the moon and fall short at the end of the day. But I mean, I don’t think it was the Donald Trump that we saw in 2016, and I don’t think that he can make up for it. And what’s left of his current term?”
It comes after the conservative, often pro-Trump Wall Street Journal editorial board criticized Trump and his family for making huge sums of money off of his presidency.
