Summary
The second Trump administration could dismantle key government agencies aiding working people, particularly the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Created after the 2008 financial crisis, the CFPB has secured major consumer wins under Biden-appointed director Rohit Chopra, such as capping overdraft fees and banning excessive credit card late fees.
Trump previously weakened the agency, and his return could prioritize corporate interests.
Progressives are urged to defend the CFPB’s achievements and use its success as a rallying point in future political campaigns.
They’re getting exactly what they asked for.
A racist, misogynist, greedy America, to match what they look like on the inside.
