A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

The federal government’s whiplash of freezes, pauses, layoffs, and reinstatements isn't just poor business strategy - it's disrupting real lives. Behind every one of these decision are families facing uncertainty, workers uprooting careers, and people whose wellbeing hangs in the balance.

In the past 72 hours, Donald Trump rolled back equal opportunity employment protections, pardoned individuals who assaulted law enforcement, and withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.
He is a danger to our future and must be held accountable.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy told Congress that through their advisory board, the Department of Government Efficiency, they’ll reduce “government waste” by $2 trillion. The catch is those savings will come through eliminating federal employees’ ability to work remotely.
