TrumpTax.com is a new interactive website that shows the costs of Trump’s Billionaire Budget Betrayal and erratic trade policies to everyday Missourians and Kansans.
Today, following the passage of Trump’s Billionaire Budget Betrayal and ahead of the six-month anniversary of Trump’s second term, the Democratic National Committee unveiled TrumpTax.com — a new interactive website that shows the dire combined effects — the Trump Tax — of the budget bill and Trump’s erratic tariff policies to everyday Missourians and Kansans.
The new website includes data for Missouri and Kansas about the Trump Tax with one underlying truth — if you’re not a billionaire, the Trump Tax will screw you over.
The Trump Tax will cost Missouri households nearly $1,700 and Kansas households nearly $1,600 while raising the income of the richest Americans. Over 265,000 Missourians and 93,000 Kansans will lose their health care coverage. More than 22 million working families across the country could lose some of their food benefits.
This law will affect all of us. Hospital closures and Medicaid cuts will lead to higher health care costs and hospital bills for everyone. The Trump Tax will explode the deficit by $3.3 trillion — leading to higher inflation, higher energy bills, and higher grocery and prescription drug costs for everybody.
In response to the DNC launching TrumpTax.com, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Donald Trump promised to lower costs on Day One, but six months into his disastrous second term, he’s robbing working Missourians and Kansans to fund tax handouts for his billionaire backers. The Trump Tax is the largest redistribution of wealth and the largest cut to health care in Missouri and Kansas history. While Trump plunges our economy toward crisis, the Trump Tax guarantees Missourians and Kansans will feel pain from his disastrous economic agenda. That’s why the DNC launched TrumpTax.com — to show Americans the dire effects of Trump’s policies in both states. Make no mistake: Trump is a lying fraud who doesn’t give a damn about our children, grandparents, or our communities in Missouri or Kansas.”
