Friend,
Last night, President Trump said the country is "back bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before." If that were true, families wouldn’t be staring down higher grocery bills, rising utility rates, and housing prices that keep climbing.
Trump says tariffs are a win. In reality, American families paid nearly $1,200 in total tariff costs between February and November last year.
He said the economy is the “hottest.” Yet, tens of thousands of net manufacturing jobs have been lost since Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day.”
He claims health care costs are coming “way down.” But 20 million Americans saw their premium costs double this year because Trump didn’t extend enhanced tax credits for Affordable Care Act coverage. And 15 million Americans will lose health care altogether.
Trump’s policies have actually made life harder for the middle class, and that’s why the country needs a plan to make people’s lives better. That’s exactly why serious policy work matters in moments like this.
At CAP, we’re not just fact-checking. We’re forging the path forward: lowering costs on housing, health care, food, and utilities, reforming our political system from the Trump administration’s pervasive corruption, and rebuilding America’s global leadership. These aren’t talking points. They’re plans built to deliver real results.
Criticism is not enough. We need an alternative. And your support right now helps us deliver one.
