Trump Silent on Working-Class Cost of Living: A Calculated Grift?
Following his election victory, Donald Trump has largely abandoned his campaign promises to address working-class economic concerns, such as grocery and gas prices. His focus has shifted to unrealistic and distracting foreign policy goals, including reclaiming the Panama Canal and purchasing Greenland, while simultaneously planning drastic cuts to federal programs that disproportionately benefit his base. These cuts, driven by his administration’s focus on tax cuts for the wealthy, will likely negatively impact the very people who voted for him. Ultimately, Trump’s post-election actions demonstrate a disregard for his previous commitments and a lack of understanding of the complexities of global economics and political systems.
