Donald Trump is steering the economy off a cliff: The U.S. economy is slowing down<\/a> while inflation ticks up<\/a>, and wages decrease<\/a>. Data shows that the vast majority<\/a> of households are barely keeping their spending up with inflation. Latinos are feeling the effects and are paying the price of Trump\u2019s reckless economic agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no wonder that more than half<\/a> of Latino voters say that Trump\u2019s policies are making them financially worse off.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, DNC Senior Spokesperson Marcus W. Robinson released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s economy is doing nobody any favors except for his big corporate backers. From his unhinged trade war to his billionaire-first budget, Americans can\u2019t seem to catch a break, and Trump is doing nothing to deliver on his promise to lower costs. More than half of Latino voters are worried about rising food prices and potential job losses. Let\u2019s be clear: Trump is leaving Latinos and hard-working families behind, all while he enriches himself, his family, and the wealthy elites around him.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working families are tightening their wallets<\/a> because of Trump\u2019s economic agenda, as prices<\/a> continue to soar and the fears of a recession<\/a> rise. Just last week, reports showed that the economy may be in a state of early-onset stagflation<\/a>, meaning that the economy is slowing down, but prices are going up. As a result, Latino families are rejecting Trump\u2019s economy: around 71% of Latinos say Trump\u2019s tariffs are raising<\/a> the cost of goods they buy, and 42% say costs are increasing \u201ca lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump can\u2019t hide from this reality. More than half<\/a> of Latino voters feel that the economy is worsening, and even more view it negatively. Clearly, Americans are feeling stuck as finding a job becomes nearly impossible and the income gap continues to grow<\/a>. And for Latinos, Trump\u2019s economic failures have translated to a higher unemployment rate<\/a> compared to White Americans. That is why poll after poll shows that Latino voters disapprove of Trump\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s billionaire-first budget, the largest wealth transfer<\/a> in history, is only making life more difficult and more expensive for Americans. Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans are lying about the damage they\u2019ve done to our economy as they throw Latinos and working families under the bus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
