Trump Says Democrats Would Make US 3rd World Country: ‘$350K Per Household’
Trump said the US would be “completely destroyed” under DSA policies, citing a $49 trillion White House estimate over 10 years.
Donald Trump accused Democrats of planning to turn the United States into a third-world country, warning that their policies would cost American households $350,000 each over the next decade. The warning came in a post on his Truth Social platform, where he cited a White House report projecting a $49 trillion cost over the next ten years if Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) proposals were adopted.
Trump argued that Democratic policies would lead to higher taxes, reduced household income, and a weakened economy, with mortgage and loan rates rising to double digits. The report, however, focused on specific DSA proposals rather than the entire Democratic Party platform. The DSA described itself as a political and activist organization, not a political party, and its stated goal is to give working people greater democratic control over the economy and society.
Trump framed the election as a choice between a Republican government and a "ruinous Democratic agenda," while the report presented possible costs if those measures were adopted.
