On Thursday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on CNN and claimed that the United States is in crisis, blaming President Donald Trump’s policies.
“We are in a crisis across the board, in every way possible, including the assault on the democratic way of life,” the anti-Trumper told CNN’s Dana Bash. “The president is assaulting the economy, assaulting Social Security, assaulting health care, assaulting the American way of life, and assaulting our democracy. None of this is normal.”
Just because you repeat the word “assaulting” several times doesn’t mean that it is actually happening.
“Donald Trump is clearly crashing the economy in real time and he’s driving us toward a recession,” Jeffries continued. “The manner in which these tariffs have been unleashed on the American people will result in the largest tax increase on everyday Americans since at least 1968. That clearly is a problem. That’s not what the American people signed up for.”
