From 'Real Fear' To Heartbreak: GOP-Led Campaign Spotlights How Trump Is Wrecking Lives
A new $15 million campaign launched Tuesday morning is spotlighting how President Donald Trump’s policies are harming ordinary Americans during his second term.
The nonprofit “Home Of The Brave” initiative will share video testimonials from people across the country “who have been harmed by Donald Trump’s disastrous policies,” according to a press release sent to HuffPost. The project, whose board features multiple Republicans and conservatives, will also post stories on Substack.
In one of the launch videos, a Virginia mother named Kirsten tells of the “real fear” she now has for the future of her daughter, who has Down syndrome, following the Trump administration’s cuts to National Institutes of Health research funding, in particular with regards to how people with Down syndrome have a higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Indiana-based e-commerce business owner Devon, who has her products manufactured in China, explained in another video how “our business planning and trajectory changed overnight” when Trump decided to slap massive tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from overseas. Devon said the company was set to enjoy its best year yet and was due to scale up even further, but now she was just “sad and heartbroken,” particularly as her products would prove super difficult to be made in the U.S.
