Trump's Failed Agenda
An Opinion raised by Svante Myrick the President of "People For the American Way"
Published on 4th August 2025, edited and bullet pointed below.
- Trump campaigned to reduce grocery prices on day one, in fact, grocery prices are up 3 percent so far in 2025. He still tells people the lie that prices are "WAY DOWN".
- He promised not to cut Medicare or Medicaid. He then bullied Republican members of Congress into passing a budget that takes $1 trillion from Medicaid.
- Trump claims his tariff policies will be good for American workers, but the "deals" he is making are undermining key industries like auto manufacturing and green energy jobs.
- He promised to balance the budget, then pressured the Republican Congress to pass a budget that adds trillions to our national debt. A tax plan that benefits billionaires at the expense of the American people.
- A Trump campaign promise was to "drain the swamp" and take on corruption in the nation's capital. Instead, he has adopted corruption to line his own pockets.
- He and his family are making billions of dollars from crypto schemes and deals with foreign governments. This includes anything from Presidential pardons to lawsuits.
- Trump promised to end the "weaponization" of the government. Instead he has turned the Justice Department and FBI into weapons of revenge against his perceives enemies and political opponents.
- He has purged FBI agents, prosecutors and Federal employees who had any role in investigating his actions on January 6th insurrections.
- He has bullied law firms, media companies and universities.
- Trumps has promise to be a champion for the rule of law, instead he repeatedly violates the law and igores the Constitution.
- He has ignored court rulings. Encouragibg the abduction and trafficking of people into concentration camps and deportation without the opportunity to chalenge their arrest and imprisonment.
- He has granted pardons and clemency to thousands of convicted rioters who supported his call to arms at the U.S. Capitol.
- Trump personal lawyer Emil Bove is inserted into a lifetime Federal Judgeship to enforce Trump's hold over the courts and legal decisions.
- Trump said he would focus his deportation efforts on dangerous criminals and gang members. His administration has unleashed violent arrests, including non criminals. They have announced their next step to remove American citizenship.
- Trump named his social media platform "Truth" so that ignorant Americans would think it was about the truth, when he actually uses it to lie about everything and everyone he hates.
- Whilst Trump will get some immunity from prosecution, he not totally immune. All his staff and appointees have sworn allegence to Trump, and probably sign a confidentiality document to that effect, but they have no formal immunity once Trump leaves office.
Not included in Svante Myrick list, is the way Donald Trump took the $200 million dollars of political donations from 2002, to keep him in the White House, and deposited it into Trump the Organisation. If he did not pay taxes on this political donation then it looks let money laundering. Ever way Trump and his sons have pocketed politically donated money.
