The Real Cost of Trump’s First Year


Listen Later

One year into the Trump administration, the damage is clear.

Democracy Under Threat

Trump has attacked free and fair elections, undermined independent institutions, and placed personal loyalty above the Constitution—weakening trust in our democracy.

Cruel and chaotic immigration enforcement

Families have been torn apart, communities live in fear of mass raids, and ICE has been empowered with little oversight—creating chaos instead of real reform.

An economy rigged for the wealthy

Billionaires and corporations benefit from tax breaks, while working families face rising housing costs, healthcare bills, and stagnant wages.

Healthcare put at risk

Repeated efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act threaten coverage for millions, including protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Civil rights rolled back

Voting rights are under attack, LGBTQ+ protections are being dismantled, and judges hostile to workers’ rights and reproductive freedom are being fast-tracked for lifetime appointments.

America weakened on the global stage

Democratic allies are pushed away while authoritarian leaders are embraced—leaving the U.S. less respected and less secure.

After one year, the pattern is undeniable: This administration governs through division, fear, and chaos—putting power over people.

We can change the course of the country by electing Democratic leadership that protects democracy, respects dignity, and delivers for working families!
