Trump: Dictator at Day 100

Whatever you think of Trump's first 100 days, we have to admit he's done a lot. But nearly all of it harms Americans.

Harris, Can you believe Trump has been in office for 100 days? Whatever you think of him, you have to admit he's done a lot. But here's the thing: Most of it isn't in your best interest. He promised to bring down the price of groceries. But his blanket tariffs will raise the price of groceries, and almost everything else you buy, because tariffs are just like sales taxes – and they take a much bigger chunk out of the paychecks of working people than the wealthy. He promised to make housing and cars more affordable. But thanks to tariffs on cars, lumber, steel, and aluminum, housing construction and rents will be more expensive, and the price of a new car is expected to go up about $6,400. He promised to deliver "rising wages, soaring incomes" – but instead he is firing nearly 300,000 federal workers, and cutting the wages of as many as 400,000 federal contractors. Hundreds of thousands out of work at once is bad for the job market, and it's also bad for Americans who rely on the services they used to provide, such as inspecting our food, warning us about extreme weather, and protecting us from financial fraud. Trump is also working with MAGA Republicans in Congress to pass even more tax cuts for the richest Americans and corporations, paid for with cuts to essential programs, like Medicaid. We could go on – and we will in this week's video. Check it out to see just how much Trump has "accomplished" against us in his first 100 days. Then share it with friends to help mobilize the opposition. Watch & Share So if Trump hasn't kept his promises to lower prices, raise wages, or create jobs… what has he done? A lot of things no one was asking for, like: Letting the world's richest man effectively cut Social Security. Disrupting cancer and Alzheimer's research. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Firing the team at the FDA that handles bird flu outbreaks and firing the CDC team dedicated to stopping mother-to-child H.I.V. transmission. Honestly, I didn't know it was possible to be against protecting babies from H.I.V. How about making an enemy of Canada? Or threatening to invade Greenland and Panama? Then there's always siding with Russia and North Korea against our allies in Europe. Doing an ad for Tesla on the White House lawn? Leaking military battle plans on a messaging app, and holding no one accountable? Gutting student aid, veterans' services, and crypto fraud investigations while selling White House tours to those who buy his own new memecoin? He's also protecting the ultra-rich from tax audits by wrecking the IRS – while golfing more than any recent president in his first 100 days, costing taxpayers like you over $26 million. Then of course, there's his project of turning America into a dictatorship. He's ripping up the Constitution piece by piece, including Articles I and III and the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, 14th, and 22nd Amendments. Everything Trump has done in his first 100 days has been to benefit his billionaire donors and corporate backers – and to consolidate more power in his hands. All at your expense. So check out our video, and keep raising awareness around Trump's disastrous first 100 days. Thank you for holding the line to demand what we deserve: better!
