Here are 47 ways he has broken his promises and made your life worse. 

1. Most grocery prices are still higher than they were a year ago.
2. Trump’s family businesses are making billions while small business owners see higher prices and smaller margins with wild tariff changes. 
3. He’s making your streaming platforms more expensive by directing corporate mergers to favor his donors, especially in media. Less competition = higher prices for media + streaming services.  
4. While corporate media consolidates, public media was cut to the bone.  
5. Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill slashed Medicaid and other social services – attacking  seniors, people with disabilities, and working families. 
6. Trump made your healthcare more expensive by blocking legislation to keep monthly premiums low. 
7. He’s flooding our streets with armed ICE agents and the National Guard, turning our neighbors against us in our own streets. 
8. He allowed Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with no government experience, access to your sensitive information, all while saving the government no money. 
9. That information was likely accessed by hackers, meaning they may have your data from the government. 
10. Participatingin a trial for new medicine or medical procedures? Trump may have canceled the contract for it, including cancer research.  
11. Just last week, Trump canceled grants to help treat addiction and mental health.  
12. About those tariffs? Congress used to set them. Now, any president can radically change industry and retail costs for Americans and call it tariffs. 
13. Trump made it OK to illegally invade another country in a broad expansion of presidential powers that Congress is suppose to . 
14. Withdrawing from international treaties means other countries are less likely to follow the rules when they benefit America.  
15. Children are less protected from fatal childhood illnesses after vaccine guidance changed. 
16. And most adults are now more vulnerable to COVID-19, and possibly other diseases from additional guidance changes. 
17. International rules about military combat? Trump ignores them, illegally repainting military planes, meaning our enemies will ignore them too.  
18. Your congressional representation can change anytime, on a whim, through mid-cycle redistricting, even between census reports. Tough luck on having your needs heard and met if a different political party gets control. 
19. Black and Latino representation is likely to drop in Congress, thanks to Trump’s mid-cycle redistricting. 
20. The closure of USAID will likely allow HIV/AIDS and other diseases to spread more rapidly, mutating and becoming drug-resistant. Future pandemics will be harder to contain. 
21. Rolled backprice caps on insulin.  
22. Lawyers and higher education institutions could be expected to “bend the knee” to all future presidents after Trump challenged them and received financial settlements from them for their policies.  
23. If you have a child that has a disability or should receive special services, and your public school doesn’t provide the services, there is no one at the Department of Education to help. Trump has basically closed the department.  
24. Have a federal student loan? Trump eliminated several student loan repayment programs, making it harder for young Americans to pay off their debt. 
25. Depend on tourism revenue? Foreign tourism has dropped significantly.   
26. Want to immigrate or have afamily member immigrate to the United States?  It’s now about how much you pay, not merit or whether you are fleeing a bad situation.  
27. Independent justice? Not with Trump, who has officially remade the Department of Justice into his personal police force and law firm all in one. If Trump doesn’t like you, the DOJ or FBI could come knocking.  
28. Literal children are being bullied by the most powerful man in the world. Transgender students are culture war targets, canceling coverage for trans health care, punishing schools for support trans students.  
29. Natural disasters hit your town? Trump’s axed a lotof disaster relief programs, and it takes months of public outcry and lawsuits for any federal funds to be released.  
30. FirstAmendment rights? Trump’s never heard of them. He might sue your college if he doesn’t like campus protests. 
31. Federal agents can apparently shoot you with no ramifications or investigation. The president will slander your name.  
32. Government officials and veterans now face heavy consequences for speaking out. That means the next president can try to strip your military rank or mess with your post-service benefits if you don’t agree with them.  
33. The president can unilaterally decide how your taxpayer dollars are spent, because Congress won’t stand up and reclaim the power of the purse.  That means you might lose federal funding for child care centers in your state at the drop of a hat.  
34. Know a veteran who came back from service needing extra medical help? Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill cut Veterans Affairs benefits and hours at VA hospitals. 
35. New lax environmental regulations prioritize enriching energy corporations over protecting people. Will your community experience an environmental disaster that could have been avoided?  
36. Trump’s executive order on voting and elections could mean future presidents, not local officials, start controlling your right to vote.  
37. No more independent banking or consumer protections. Trump gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and is trying to oust independent banking officials. A shaky financial sector could mean a looming recession or worse. 
38. Back to bombing random countries at random times. Will young Americans be forced back into a forever war with Iran or someone else?
39. Presidents are supposed to represent our best selves. Trump flips off Americans, giving people an excuse to treat others poorly. 
40. Want a safe workplace? Trump has limited OSHA rules and regulations, meaning bad bosses can get away with unsafe working conditions. 
41. He’s also got rid of a lot of regulations around keeping our food safe. Higher food prices and more likely to get sick? Yuck. 
42. You can make large changes to the White House or other federal buildings, allowing donors to fund the changes without any public oversight.  
43. Enjoy our beautiful national parks? Funding has been stripped, workers fired and not replaced, and getting passes is harder than ever.  
44. Whether it’sthe Epstein files, monthly job data during Trump’s government shutdown, or something else, it’s now common for the government to withhold the truth from the public. A big red flag here.  
45. Bringing back racism anddiscrimination in hiring? Yeah, that’s what ending diversity programs and attacking universities who have them will do. 
46. Born in the U.S. and believe you’re a citizen? Not according to the president, who’s wants the Supreme Court to end your constitutional right to birthright citizenship. If a president can upend a constitutional amendment by executive order, can’t all of them be put into doubt?  
47. Need guidance on your reproductive health? Trump made it harder to get that info independently. 

Oh and spray tans are ruined, forever.
