Trump will destroy the government agencies that most help working people | Katrina vanden Heuvel

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : He has embraced public engagement in a way most regulators don't; see his PSAs on medical debt with Rashida Tlaib, the Michigan representative.
47% : But a prevailing lesson of 2024 has been that voters respond to brash anti-corporate messaging, even when it comes from the mouths of an erstwhile venture capitalist and a real estate tycoon who stiffs workers.
32% : Trump and his nearly-half-trillionaire "first buddy" feel threatened for good reason: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is one of the few federal agencies created explicitly to help average Americans, and actually given authority to do so.
30% : In his first term, in fact, Trump slashed the CFPB's budget, appointed a vocal critic to run it and rolled back regulations protecting consumers from predatory practices.
