WASHINGTON, D.C. — While MAGA Republicans prepare to pass their disastrous cuts to health care and food assistance to fund tax handouts to the wealthy, Donald Trump is burning through hundreds of millions on his birthday military parade and crusade to turn LA into a war zone. The price tag for his latest wasteful distractions from his turbulent economy and deeply unpopular anti-health care bill? $45 million and counting.
Now, new polling shows Trump underwater on all the key issues he ran on – including the economy and immigration – while the American people are turning on his reckless National Guard deployment and manufactured crises to distract from his wildly unpopular agenda to slash health care and food assistance from working families.
In response, Defend America Action Senior Spokesperson Rodericka Applewhaite released the following statement:
“Donald Trump’s poll numbers are cratering – and holding an expensive birthday parade on the taxpayers’ dime isn’t going to distract the American people from his wildly unpopular and unaffordable agenda. Americans are sick of Trump’s antics that are costing us millions while he prepares to cut health care and food assistance to pay for tax handouts for the ultra-wealthy. No matter what disastrous stunts Trump and his MAGA allies try to pull, the American people see through these pathetic attempts to distract from the administration’s backward and out-of-touch priorities to put billionaires ahead of the rest of us.”
