Trump & Elon’s Mass Firings Devastate Local Economies, Raise Costs, and Threaten Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security

With help from his unqualified billionaire shadow president Elon Musk, Donald Trump’s reckless mass firings of federal workers have sparked chaos across the country — and the American people widely disapprove. Trump is gutting local economies and threatening to “worsen America’s housing crisis” while leaving veterans stranded without access to “life or death” medical care.

Trump’s disastrous agenda of mass firings is already hitting millions of Americans. So far Trump has: 

Trump and out-of-touch billionaire Elon Musk are enacting an unpopular agenda to gut federal funding and critical programs that support millions of working Americans.

  • Musk is seeking to gut the agency overseeing Medicare and Medicaid, despite 77% of Americans approving of Medicaid while 80% support Medicare. 
  • Musk is targeting the Social Security Administration for cuts, even though Americans overwhelmingly (87%) support Social Security. 
  • Musk and Trump are working together on an unpopular agenda to dismantle the Department of Education and slash popular programs it houses:
    • 61% of Americans oppose getting rid of the Department of Education while 71% of public school parents support increasing education funding, not gutting it. 
    • 74% of Americans support doubling the Pell Grant, not dismantling it. 
    • 54% of Americans support student debt relief. 
  • Trump and Musk are trying to shutter the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which nearly 4 in 5 Americans support.
  • Musk and DOGE are cutting staff at the National Weather Service, an agency that has a 66% approval rating.
  • Musk’s attacks on the Dept. of Labor have already sparked major backlash, leading to protests and multiple lawsuits to protect workers’ private sensitive information.
