Trump's First 100 Days of Costs, Chaos, and Corruption -- And How to Fight Back!! đź’Şđź’Ş

John, Donald Trump promised he’d lower prices in Oklahoma. Instead, in the first 100 days of the Trump administration, seniors have helplessly watched their 401(k)s shrink, while local stores and groceries warn they won’t be able to stock their shelves. The nation teeters on the edge of a Trump-made recession.
Instead of stopping the madness, Trump and congressional Republicans are setting their sights on a budget bill that could eliminate life-saving health care programs, force families to pay thousands more for child care, and raise energy costs – all to pay for tax handouts for billionaires.
It’s only been 100 days and Oklahomans have had more than enough of Trump’s broken promises and chaos. |
|
|
In just 100 days, Oklahomans and Americans across the country are already hurting from Trump’s failed, recession-inducing economic agenda: |
|
|
- OK has suffered 4,000 unemployment filings under Donald Trump.
-
More companies filed for bankruptcy in the first three months of this year than in any first quarter since 2010.
- 76% of Americans warned their incomes were not keeping up with inflation. Now, grocery stores say they won’t be able to stock store shelves.
- 73% of Americans say they are “financially stressed” in Trump’s collapsing economy, and most say the economy and grocery costs are worse than a year ago.
|
|
|
Trump and Republicans in Congress are pushing a budget bill that will take us from bad to worse – all to give billionaires trillions of dollars worth of tax cuts. |
|
|
-
Through their disastrous budget, Trump and congressional Republicans are planning to:
- Rip away over 1,000,000 Oklahomans’ access to affordable health care.
- Slash Americans’ hard-earned Social Security benefits by defunding the independent Social Security Board. Over 800,000 Oklahomans receive Social Security benefits.
- Eliminate Head Start — costing working families an extra $12,000 a year for child care and ripping away kids’ health care. 13,000 kids living in Oklahoma rely on Head Start funding.
- Gut affordable housing and make energy more expensive for millions of working families.
- All to give tax breaks to billionaires and mega-corporations.

But Oklahoma has had enough, and is gearing up to fight back!
You've seen it, from the record number of Democratic bills passed in the State House of Representatives, to the upset victories against Republicans in municipal elections, Oklahomans are fired up and pushing back against rightwing extremism.
And we won't stop there. We could not be more excited to bring you our Fight Back Luncheon in June, to equip all of us to challenge the chaos regime and to build a better Oklahoma. |
