Blog de Dunlap: I want to hear how it’s going for you, Danielle

Danielle,

Donald Trump promised the American people he'd lower costs and make life more affordable. He has broken every single one of those promises.

Since Trump’s started a war with Iran, gas prices have increased sharply — hitting families every time they fill up the tank. Grocery bills keep climbing. Household energy costs have surged.

If you're one of the millions of Americans doing the math at the end of the month and coming up short, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that the Trump White House cares so little about how their decisions affect working families.

I'm sorry that while you're stretching every dollar, Trump continues to shovel even more wealth into the pockets of billionaires and wealthy corporations that bankrolled his presidency.

We’re keeping up the fight to right the wrongs of our economy, and your story plays an important role in this work. Because your story is proof, Danielle. When Trump goes on Fox News and claims the economy is booming, your experience can cut through the spin and make a difference.

Have gas prices changed how you drive, where you shop, or what you can afford? Have rising costs forced you to make impossible choices? Has Trump's economy left your family worse off? Let us know here →

SHARE YOUR STORY

Let's be clear: this isn't happening by accident.

Trump handed trillion-dollar tax cuts to billionaires and Big Oil. He gutted the consumer protections families depend on. He's let corporations price-gouge without a single consequence. And while hardworking people struggle to keep the lights on, Trump is courting billionaires at his new gold-encrusted ballroom at the White House.

We see what's happening.

Behind every job report and every headline is a real person. Someone putting off a car repair they can't afford. Someone standing in the grocery aisle is doing the math. Someone working two jobs, doing everything right, and still falling behind at the end of the month.

Trump’s economy is crushing working people. I’m raising the alarm about these blinking red vital signs — and I’m going to keep countering Trump’s lies about his economy with the facts. One way you can help is to share your story with me. How have you been impacted by Trump’s economy? What concerns are keeping you up at night? Is there a “vital sign” of your financial health you’re worried about?

I’m doing everything I can to hold Trump and his billionaire allies accountable, and build an economy that actually works for everyone, not just those at the top.

Thanks for being part of this,

Elizabeth
