By September 17, 2025No Comments

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Trump’s terrible economy that has crushed working families, spiked unemployment, and sent the US hurtling towards a possible recession forced the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.

In response, Defend America Action Senior Spokesperson Rodericka Applewhaite released the following statement:

“Today, Donald Trump got the interest rate cut he has been begging for. Why? Because his chaotic tariffs and failed economic policies are costing Americans jobs and hurtling our economy towards a possible recession. The Federal Reserve didn’t succumb to Trump’s pressure to lower interest rates – they acted to stave off the damage to our economy and the American people from Trump’s economic failures that are crushing everyone but his billionaire buddies.”
