Nutrition label

77% Informative

ProPublica reviewed Trump ’s proposed budgets from 2018 to 2021 , as well as regulations he attempted to enact or revise via his cabinet agencies.

We found that while Trump was in the White House , he advanced an agenda that was designed to cut health care, food and housing programs and labor protections for poor.

The number of uninsured people in the U.S. increased in 2017 for the first time since the law was enacted.

By that year , 2.3 million fewer Americans had health insurance than when Trump came into power.

President Joe Biden has reversed many of these changes, but Trump could reverse them back, especially if he has majorities in Congress .
