In Trump’s economy, the billionaires always seem to come out just fine.
It’s everyone else who gets stuck with higher prices, less health care, and now fewer jobs.
Hard to call that a success for the American people.

Trump has had a "concept" of a health care plan for 10 years now. But we finally saw his real plan this summer with Republicans’ Big Ugly Law.
He cut health care for millions of Americans and raised premiums for tens of millions more to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

If the price of food this Thanksgiving is skyrocketing, the solution can't just be for Americans to buy less.
