“I have a team to feed. I have rent to pay. People rely on us as a small business in this economy.”

That’s a VA toy store owner on @ms.now discussing the impact of Trump’s economic agenda this holiday season.

Toys & gifts are unaffordable for many families & businesses w/ prices going up by 26%.

Our new polling finds that 75% of Americans are seriously stressed about affording the holiday season thanks to Trump’s economic agenda.

A majority of Americans said “that they were going to change their behavior in one way or another, whether that be buying fewer gifts, or gifts for less people."

Holiday shopping will be a major expense this year thanks to Trump’s economic agenda.
