Trump’s Funding Cuts Sacrifice Working People for His Extreme Agenda

Updated January 31, 2025

Through all his chaos, we know one thing: Donald Trump is trying to cut popular, vital programs and he doesn’t care who he hurts. 

Less than two weeks into his presidency, he’s betrayed the voters who elected him. He’s ignoring the real help people need, and forcing the extremist Project 2025 agenda he claimed to disavow. Now families, children, seniors, veterans, and business owners are all stuck in limbo because of Trump.

TOPLINE MESSAGE: Voters elected Trump to make life more affordable –– instead, he is actively hurting working people to force his extremist agenda. Heating your home in the winter, getting the medical care you need, and support from the federal government when disasters like the LA wildfires strike are not bargaining chips. Trump is sowing chaos at the expense of the American people.

• This is an outrageous power grab, but it’s not happening in a vacuum. This is Donald Trump’s Project 2025 in action, and hardworking Americans will feel it in their homes, their jobs, and their wallets.

• This is the vision of Russ Vought — Trump’s nominee for White House Budget Director and a chief architect of Project 2025. He thinks it's okay to violate the Constitution and override Congress to cut programs that millions depend on. Vought should be blocked as long as he claims he can hijack Congress’ spending power.

• Trump is betraying the voters who put him in office. Last year he claimed he had nothing to do with Project 2025, now he’s following that plan line for line. At every step, he’s moving to take trillions from families and give billions to his billionaire donors.
