MEMORANDUM<\/strong>
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: DNC War Room
DATE: July 4th, 2025
RE: Trump is Putting the American Dream Out of Reach\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump promised Americans that he would usher in a \u201cgolden age\u201d<\/a> and put \u201cAmerica first.\u201d But in the 165 days since he took office, Donald Trump has worked day (and night) to kill the American dream for working families across the country while enriching himself, his family, and his billionaire friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Trump\u2019s Billionaire Bill, the administration\u2019s signature legislation, will actively funnel money from the poorest Americans into the pockets of the richest while decimating the very programs working families, children, and seniors rely on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

America should be the land of opportunity but under Donald Trump, the American dream is <\/strong>dying<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Prices are rising. <\/strong>Hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost<\/a> their jobs. Small businesses are suffering. The safety net was just gutted with historic cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. The American dream of owning a home is leaping further and further out of reach for millions of hardworking families. It has become drastically harder for Americans to just survive and get by \u2014 let alone get ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear: The Trump administration has taken aim at the very things that make America the greatest country in the world.<\/strong> Americans are overwhelmingly rejecting his agenda, rife with buyers\u2019 remorse<\/a>. Democrats are standing with the American people, organizing everywhere, and fighting back \u2014 in Congress, in the courts, and on the ground in states across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 4th, Trump has eviscerated the American Dream:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
