The former presidentā€™s allies have used the final days of the campaign to argue for sharp spending cuts that would harm millions of Americans.

Summary

Donald Trumpā€™s allies, including Elon Musk and John Paulson, are advocating sudden, unspecified spending cuts, likely targeting healthcare and social programs if Trump wins.

Despite strong economic performance under Biden, Trumpā€™s agenda could double the national debt, raising taxes for most Americans while benefitting the wealthy. His policies may cut essential programs, lowering living standards in the short term.

Trumpā€™s campaign has been a bait-and-switch, promising economic restoration while hiding the dire consequences of his proposals.
