In the former hedge fund manager’s own words:
“He’s running on the economy, but he’s really running on a Mar-a-Lago economy. He’s given big benefits to rich people and big corporations in the short run.”
Steyer also made sure to opine that the president is “doing a very superficial short term juice” by supposedly only benefiting wealthy Americans. Finally, the 2020 Democrat wrapped up his thoughts on the economy under Trump with the following statement:
“He’s avoiding the actual long term prosperity of Americans that is done by investing in the American people.”
An Established Strategy
Steyer has consistently maintained that Democrats can only defeat Trump by censuring his work on the economy. This is a talking point that the 2020 candidate repeatedly brought up during the New Hampshire debate.
Like Steyer, other Democrats continuously assert that the president’s overall work is only benefiting rich individuals and robust corporations. This talking point regularly comes up when Americans point out benefits associated with the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act and other conservative economic legislation.
