One Year In: Trump’s Economy in Five Numbers

By New Dem Vice Chair for Communications Marc Veasey (TX-33)

One year into his second term, President Trump has broken his number one promise to the American people – that he would lower costs “on day one” and make life more affordable.

There is no getting around this simple fact: apart from Trump and his billionaire friends and allies, the American people are worse off today than they were one year ago. It’s gotten so bad that Trump has seemingly given up on lowering costs for everyday Americans, content to call affordability a “hoax” and give his economy an “A+++++” grade (the American people give it a C-) to try and gaslight his way out of the mess he made.
