Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today issued the following statement on President Trump's first 50 days in office:

"The first 50 days of the Trump Administration have been a train wreck of fear, incompetence and broken promises. While failing to lift a finger to create jobs, the President has enabled the abuses of his Wall Street friends, tried to make families pay more for less health care, instilled fear among immigrant communities, and allowed Russia to endanger our security.

"The Trump Administration has always had a problem with the truth: from the lies of his Attorney General to hiding his tax returns to the assault on working families under his populist rhetoric. The failed record of his Administration is a sharp contrast with the bold and swift productivity of the Obama Administration – which had already signed major legislation into law creating millions of jobs and investing in infrastructure, innovation, clean energy and education.

"Fifty days of President Trump's agenda have made working families more vulnerable and our nation less safe, even before trying to push millions out of health coverage. Democrats will continue to press President Trump for action to create good-paying jobs for working families, instead of handing tax breaks to his billionaire friends."
