Trump’s Policies: A Lower Standard of Living for American Workers?
Reelected President Trump’s economic policies threaten to reverse recent gains made by American workers. His proposed mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and imposition of high tariffs would negatively impact the economy, increasing prices and causing labor shortages. Simultaneously, his anti-union stance, including the appointment of anti-labor officials and support for firing striking workers, jeopardizes recent improvements in wages and union membership. These actions, coupled with his broader agenda outlined in Project 2025, risk significantly lowering the standard of living for American workers. The potential economic consequences of his second term are dire.
