Thanks to Donald Trump, we’re seeing more unemployment, skyrocketing costs, slashed education funding, threats to Social Security and Medicaid, and suffering families in Georgia

[DNC] As Donald Trump prepares to celebrate 100 days of failure, the reality on the ground for working families is dire - the stock market and 401ks have tumbled, more and more Americans are filing for unemployment, consumer sentiment is in the sewer, and his approval ratings have plummeted. In Trump’s first 100 days in office, he isn’t just failing to deliver on his promises - he is actively making things worse for Georgia. By nearly every metric, Donald Trump has been a disaster for Georgia. It’s no surprise that his approval rating reflects this, with the lowest approval rating for a president after their first 100 days in 80 years.

DNC Chair Ken Martin issued the following statement:

“Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office have been a complete disaster for Georgians. There’s a reason his approval rating continues to drop to record lows. Staring down the threat of a Trump recession, Georgians are seeing costs rise, jobs dry up, Georgia projects shuttered, and hard-earned benefits and critical programs under attack. Across the board, Trump’s first 100 days in office have been devastating for Georgia. Democrats are organizing and fighting back, building power in Georgia community by community, block by block.”

Trump’s first 100 days for Georgians by the numbers

Unemployment:
57,977 unemployment filings in Georgia have occurred under Donald Trump.
2,400 Georgians have been laid off since Donald Trump took office.
Now, economists are warning that Trump is sending the economy toward recession.

Medicaid and SNAP benefits for Georgians at risk:
Nearly 2 million Georgians rely on Medicaid.
Medicaid covers 42% of Georgia children.
SNAP supports over 1.4 million Georgia residents, most of whom are at or below the poverty line.
More than 69% of Georgia SNAP participants are in families with children.

Social Security of Georgians threatened and undermined:
Nearly 2 million Georgians rely on Social Security benefits.

Trump’s order to dismantle the Education Department has already affected funding for Georgia, and his attacks on Head Start put more Georgia children at risk:
Georgia receives $5.3 billion in federal funds that benefit rural, disabled, and low-income students. Trump is threatening: 
$675 million in Title 1 funding
$9.2 million in REAP funding
$4.7 million in homeless youth funding 
$451 million in special education funding 

Additionally, Trump’s attacks on Head Start funding threatens:
22,105 Georgia children
1,973 teachers and staff
Over $280 million in total funding
