Trump’s reckless economic policies are finally catching up with him, and now he's trying to downplay the damage

His administration has been handing out tax cuts to the wealthy while ignoring the needs of working people, and this instability is the result. Instead of providing clear leadership, he’s giving mixed signals that only make businesses and workers more anxious. A recession would hurt everyday Americans the most, while the rich and corporations get bailouts like they did in 2008. We need real progressive policies—like fair taxes, stronger labor protections, and investment in green jobs—to build an economy that actually works for everyone. Trump’s corporate-first approach has failed, and it’s time for something better.
