WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, as the economy continues to tank and prices on everyday items skyrocket, Donald Trump and Republicans made their toxic agenda clear by screwing over the American people – including seniors, poor kids, and veterans – all so they can do a favor for their billionaire backers and give them another massive tax break.
Trump and his MAGA lackeys are pushing a devastating blueprint that rips away health care for working families and food assistance for children and seniors while imposing huge tariffs on groceries, clothes, and electronics – all to pay for tax handouts for the ultra-wealthy. Now he’s brazenly engaged in pay-to-play schemes that sell government access to the highest bidders, proving his loyalty lies with enriching himself and his wealthy donors rather than serving the American people.
MASSIVE HEALTH CARE CUTS TO FUND TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY
- House Republicans, under Trump’s direction, passed their draconian budget bill after a middle-of-the-night debate to hide from voters that they’re slashing health care funding for working families while giving tax cuts to the wealthy.
- While Trump publicly promised Americans he wouldn’t cut their health care, he directed House Republicans to enact the largest cut to the program in history.
ECONOMIC CHAOS HARMING AMERICAN FAMILIES
- Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs and economic policies are directly hurting working Americans while he caters to the wealthy.
- Markets are tanking – with the Dow plunging 800 points – as his approval on the economy crashes to just 39%. A majority of retailers like Walmart and Target say they will be raising prices and reporting sales drops as consumers feel the squeeze.
- Now Moody’s has downgraded America’s credit rating for the first time in history under Trump’s watch, guaranteeing higher mortgage rates, car loans, and credit card interest for everyday Americans.
TRUMP’S PAY-TO-PLAY PROFITEERING AT AMERICANS’ EXPENSE
- Trump orchestrated pay-to-play schemes – selling access at his exclusive crypto dinner to the highest bidders while simultaneously directing his MAGA allies in Congress to ram through legislation that strips health care from millions of Americans.
- In another shocking display of self-enrichment, Trump accepted a luxury private jet valued at $200 million from Qatar, a government with ties to Hamas. The aircraft might then be transferred to the Trump presidential library for his personal use after leaving office.
- This calculated betrayal reveals Trump’s true priorities: catering to the wealthy and corporate interests while ordinary Americans face skyrocketing costs and vanishing healthcare coverage. His shameless profiteering comes at the direct expense of the working families he promised to protect.
