Trump administration’s divisive agenda exposes his campaign promises as nothing more than a bait-and-switch on working Americans

Since President Trump took office, his administration has waged an unrelenting attack on the livelihoods of hardworking Americans, the rights we’ve fought for, and the progress we’ve made as a nation. The chaos, the culture wars, and the targeting of marginalized communities that have followed every executive order from the admin aren’t just distractions—they’re part of a deliberate strategy to overwhelm you, to demoralize you, and ultimately, to make you turn away.

But here’s what President Trump and his allies don’t want you to see: while they distract with their divisive agenda, they’ve already failed to deliver on their promises. Trump and the billionaires surrounding him said they’d bring prices down day one and make life better for working families. Instead, they’re doing the opposite—stripping resources from our communities to line the pockets of the already wealthy. This isn’t about helping you; it’s about keeping power in the hands of a privileged few.

The Maryland Democratic Party will not hesitate to fight back with every tool at our disposal. Our elected officials across the state are ramping up to launch legal challenges, use every legislative tool, and deliver relief in their capacity as state and local officials to ensure Maryland remains a state and this remains a nation where any hardworking American can succeed regardless of who they are, or where they’re from.
