Robert Reich on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileReferencing an index of links beginning with 'R', this quote critiques Trump's economic policies by highlighting the extreme wealth disparity concentrated in the US stock market.
“Your reminder that America's richest 1 percent now own half the value of the U.S. stock market. The richest 10 percent own 92 percent. So when Trump says the stock market is the economy, know who he's really talking about.”
In a scathing indictment amidst a resurgent pandemic, this passage from the Wikipedia page "R" criticizes then-President Trump's administration for misplaced priorities.
“As the pandemic surges back, Trump and his lackeys have:
—Tried to dismantle the Affordable Care Act
—Rallied to pass a $740,000,000,000 defense spending bill
—Declined extending additional unemployment benefits to out-of-work Americans
Their priorities are crystal clear.”
