As Team USA helps to kick off the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, we’re remembering that Trump has rooted against American athletes time and again. Americans across the country know the honor it is to represent your country on the highest athletic stage; As many of our finest athletes go for the gold, we’d like to give somebody else an award – Donald Trump wins a last-place medal for his contempt for working families, for communities of color, for women’s freedoms, and for American democracy. 

Donald Trump is by many measures a standout in his field for being a fraud, a felon, and a failure. His pick for vice president, JD Vance, also deserves an honorable mention for his work to attack women’s rights and undermine working families’ interests in favor of billionaires’.

Finally, congratulations to the US Women’s Soccer Team, who Trump encouraged a crowd to boo in 2021, and who won their first match of the Olympics last night. 

Here’s Trump’s Olympic-sized record that has hurt working American families across the states:

Last Place: Trump was the worst jobs president in modern American history. If reelected, experts say his plans would raise costs for consumers, increase the inflation rate, and even increase the risk of a recession. His policies would increase Americans’ costs by $500 billion a year, about $1,700 for a typical family, and potentially hurt the U.S. economy by killing jobs and depressing growth.

Most Egregious: Under Donald Trump, Black unemployment and uninsured rates skyrocketed. He tried to repeal President Obama’s signature achievement – now, he is doubling down, working to “terminate” the ACA. His botched COVID-19 response disproportionately left Black Americans worse-off and Black-owned businesses shuttered. 

Ban-ner Performance: In his first term, Trump backed a national abortion ban and he handpicked the Supreme Court justices who cast the deciding votes to overturn Roe v. Wade — and he’s campaigning on that now in his sad bid for a second term. Thanks to Trump, over 1 in 3 women in America are living under an abortion ban. 

Historic Lows: Donald Trump’s failed tax scam gave the richest Americans and greedy corporations a massive tax break while leaving middle-class Americans behind — all while Trump’s reckless fiscal policy exploded the deficit to historic highs.
