As Oklahomans endure 6 months of Donald Trump’s billionaires-first agenda, the Oklahoma Democratic Party released the following statement:
Donald Trump promised he’d lower prices in Oklahoma. Instead, at the 6-month mark, he has pushed a budget that will cost Oklahoma households $1,700 a year to fill the pockets of the richest Americans. Thanks to Donald Trump, 212,000 Oklahomans could lose their SoonerCare and 58,000 risk losing access to food assistance. After six months on the job, one thing is clear: if you’re not a billionaire, Trump is screwing you over.
