Trump betrayed us. He promised to end inflation on “Day One.” Instead, prices have gone up on virtually everything since the day he took office. We are only beginning to feel the pain of Trump’s tariffs, which are paid by importers and passed on to us.
American company John Deere expects higher steel tariffs to add $600 million to 2025’s manufacturing costs. Trump’s tariffs on China resulted in retaliatory tariffs on soybeans, already costing U.S. farmers $3.4 billion.
Trump betrayed us. He promised to protect Medicaid. Instead, his “Big Beautiful Bill” stripped health care from 11.8 million Americans. Republicans in Congress cynically delayed these cuts until after the 2026 elections, hoping that we’re too stupid to notice.
Trump betrayed us. He pledged to deport dangerous criminals. Instead, armed, masked thugs are grabbing immigrants with no criminal record – and even American citizens – people working, paying taxes and raising families, and sending them to gulags in El Salvador and Sudan with no due process.
Trump betrayed us. He promised to end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours.” Instead, Putin has played him for a fool and is expanding the war into Poland.
Trump betrayed us. He promised to release the Epstein files. Instead, once Pam Bondi told him that his name was in them “multiple times,” he decided not to let us see them. Trump is now actively protecting elite pedophiles.
Join the No Kings rally Oct. 18. Tell Trump we will not let him transform our democracy into an autocracy.
