6 Months In, Trump and Republicans Are Screwing Over Working Oklahomans

Government and Politics

July 20, 2025


As Oklahomans endure 6 months of Donald Trump’s billionaires-first agenda, the Oklahoma Democratic Party released the following statement: 

Donald Trump promised he’d lower prices in Oklahoma. Instead, at the 6-month mark, he has pushed a budget that will cost Oklahoma households $1,700 a year to fill the pockets of the richest Americans. Thanks to Donald Trump, 212,000 Oklahomans could lose their SoonerCare and 58,000 risk losing access to food assistance. After six months on the job, one thing is clear: if you’re not a billionaire, Trump is screwing you over.

At the 6-month mark, Donald Trump has broken his promise to everyone but his billionaire backers. In response, Democrats just launched TrumpTax.com to show what Trump is costing working Oklahomans since stepping into office. Thanks to Trump:

  • Nearly 212,000 Oklahomans will lose health insurance
  • 58,000 Oklahomans are at risk of losing food assistance
  • Nearly 33,000 Oklahomans could lose their job
  • The median household in Oklahoma will lose $750 from the Trump Tax alone. Combined with Trump’s reckless tariff agenda, the median household will lose nearly $1,700 annually
  • 21 rural hospitals in Oklahoma are at risk of closing
  • Oklahomans’ electricity bills will rise by 11.6%
  • Trump’s reckless tariffs have already cost Oklahoma businesses $345.5 million
