The Consequences of Trump’s Economic Policies on Everyday Americans
Earlier, we discussed Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which NPR reports could leave 12 million people without health insurance by 2034. Around 300,000 children in Iowa could lose their Medicaid coverage. One resident tried to tell his Trump-supporting brother, but his response was unsympathetic. He seemed fine with the cuts, as long as they didn’t affect his own kids.
A New Example of Regret: Gray’s Struggle With Medication Costs and Rising Expenses
Gray, a strong Trump supporter, celebrated the end of “tyranny” on inauguration day. Now, however, her outlook has changed dramatically.
Gray’s Desperate Plea for Help: Rising Costs and Financial Instability
Gray posted on Trump’s social media, tagging him directly: “I hate to say this BUT wtf did you do to our medication copays!?” She added, “I just got charged $98 on what was $40 last month!” Gray and others are struggling with rising food costs and fixed incomes. “We’re living on credit cards,” she said. “SENIORS ON SS NEED HELP!”
The Internet Reacts: Empathy and Frustration at the Situation
Gray begged for a stimulus check. “I’m going to have to file bankruptcy for the FIRST TIME IN MY 60+ years!!!” While some sympathized, many users pointed out the irony. “She missed a lot of memos,” one Reddit user said. Another sarcastically suggested, “Get to work at Amazon.” Some reminded her that bankruptcy might not offer relief due to Trump’s changes to medical debt.
What Are Your Thoughts on Gray’s Situation?
Gray’s story highlights the struggles that many Trump supporters now face. Some empathize, while others see this as a direct result of supporting Trump’s policies. What do you think? Was this predictable, or is it a wake-up call for his base?
