Thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans’ costly agenda, millions of Americans are going into debt and cutting back to afford daily necessities. From Trump’s disastrous tariffs and sweeping cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, to his deeply unpopular and reckless war with Iran, working families are seeing the cost of nearly everything soar — and they’re feeling the impact. Yet instead of providing relief to the millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet, Trump’s sole focus remains on his White House vanity projects and handing out tax cuts to the ultra-rich.
The reality is clear: A majority of voters say they are financially worse off now than before Trump retook office. This November, voters will remember the Democrats who fought for them during hard times and the Republicans who sold them out to enrich themselves and their billionaire donors.
