WASHINGTON, DC - Donald Trump promised Americans that he would usher in a “golden age” and put “America first.” But in the 165 days since he took office, Donald Trump has worked day (and night) to kill the American dream for working families across the country while enriching himself, his family, and his billionaire friends. 

Now, Trump’s Billionaire Bill, the administration’s signature legislation, will actively funnel money from the poorest Americans into the pockets of the richest while decimating the very programs working families, children, and seniors rely on. 

America should be the land of opportunity but under Donald Trump, the American dream is dying. Prices are rising. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost their jobs. Small businesses are suffering. The safety net was just gutted with historic cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. The American dream of owning a home is leaping further and further out of reach for millions of hardworking families. It has become drastically harder for Americans to just survive and get by — let alone get ahead.

Let’s be clear: The Trump administration has taken aim at the very things that make America the greatest country in the world. Americans are overwhelmingly rejecting his agenda, rife with buyers’ remorse. Democrats are standing with the American people, organizing everywhere, and fighting back — in Congress, in the courts, and on the ground in states across the country. 

On July 4th, Trump has eviscerated the American Dream:

1. Shredding the American Safety Net
2. Rising Prices
3. Job Losses and Shuttering Small Businesses
4. Homeownership Out of Reach
5. Slashing Educational Opportunities

Shredding the American Safety Net

• Trump and the GOP are ripping away health care from 17 million Americans through over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act — including the largest cut to Medicaid in American history
• Trump and the GOP are putting over 300 rural hospitals at risk of shutting down, ripping away critical, lifesaving care from hundreds of rural communities across the country
• Trump and the GOP are forcing at least 1 in 4 nursing homes to close their doors
• Trump and the GOP are forcing roughly 5 million Americans to go hungry — about 1 in 8 SNAP participants — with the largest cuts to food assistance in history.
• Over 1 million children will see their food assistance threatened by Trump and the GOP’s cuts.
