#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of the jobs he promised, Trump has presided over one of the worst economic disasters in American history. Since he became President: 7.8 million jobs have been lost — including 7,100 coal mining jobs and 274,000 manufacturing jobs. (2/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of the “phenomenal” healthcare he promised, we have an out-of-control pandemic caused by a total failure in public health leadership, surging hospitalization rates, a growing death toll—and even Trump death panels. (3/11) thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-trump-de…
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of reducing the $19.9T debt he inherited to zero like he promised, Trump’s failed policies ballooned the deficit and sent the debt soaring to $24T in his first 3 years. The Trump Crash of 2020 has exploded the debt further, to the current $26.5T. (4/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of the “skyrocketing” 6% economic growth Trump promised that his tax giveaway to corporations and the already-wealthy would deliver, we are experiencing an 8% crash in GDP—even as Europe and Asia, under more competent leadership, suffer far less. (5/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of protecting #Medicare & #SocialSecurity, Trump announced on Fox News in early March that those programs would be cut if he won re-election. If the GOP retains power, those cuts will be even more brutal than Trump imagined just a few months ago. (6/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of making our cities safer, Trump has doubled down on racist rhetoric and policies—while failing to contain a deadly pandemic. Under Obama, Trump blamed the President for social unrest and urban crime. Today, he says the buck stops elsewhere. (7/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster The world agrees we must #ActOnClimate, but Trump is has delivered only environmental devastation—with deregulation that benefits corporate polluters while hitting vulnerable populations hard. Like the American people, the planet can't take 4 more years. (8/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of rebuilding #manufacturing like he promised, Trump’s idiotic trade wars and tariffs plunged the US manufacturing sector into a recession for all of 2019, setting the stage for the full-blown #TrumpRecession which began in February of this year. (9/11)
#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of protecting “the gays” like he promised he would, Trump has waged an all-out war the #LGBTQ community in schools, in healthcare, in housing, in the workplace, in the judiciary, and around the world.

#TrumpTheDisaster Instead of fighting #corruption, Trump has abandoned any pretense of draining the swamp. He’s just filling it with bigger reptiles. Even the worst pandemic in 100 years didn’t slow down Trump’s relentless self-dealing, #emoluments and ethics abuses. (11/11)
