Jeffries: 'What Donald Trump has done is decimate the bank accounts of the American people'

(The Hill) House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) blasted President Trump at a Democratic National Committee (DNC) briefing, saying his policies have hurt Americans’ wallets and livelihoods.

“Donald Trump has not managed to liberate the economy,” Jeffries said. “What Donald Trump has done is decimate the bank accounts of the American people.”

Democratic lawmakers and DNC leaders held a press briefing Thursday to criticize the first anniversary of “Liberation Day,” when the president first announced sweeping tariffs across the world.

Jeffries on Thursday also criticized Trump’s current military campaign in Iran, arguing that the war has increased costs for Americans mostly through higher gas prices.
