Leader Schumer Statement On Plummeting Consumer Confidence Caused By Donald Trump

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on U.S. consumer sentiment plummeting as a result of Donald Trump’s reckless trade war and economic chaos:

“Today’s terrible consumer confidence number is further evidence of the Trump Slump and anyone that believes the chaos and ensuing crisis of Trump’s tariff flip flop is behind us is sadly mistaken. When Americans see the chaos caused by Donald Trump’s tax cut for ultra-wealthy and at least $4,700 a year in higher costs for every person, it’s no wonder consumer confidence is in the dumps.

“Donald Trump promised he would lower prices on Day One. Instead, in his first 100 days, Donald Trump has once again plunged America’s economy into a tailspin. Democrats are fighting this backwards Republican agenda every day so that we can get America back on track.”
