Former US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on Democrats, accusing them of deliberately undermining housing programs initiated during his time in office. In a fiery statement, Trump branded the proposed cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a 'political hit job' designed to tarnish his legacy.
Funding Cuts Spark Outrage
The controversy erupted after congressional Democrats unveiled a budget proposal that would significantly reduce funding for several HUD initiatives. Trump-era programs, including those aimed at affordable housing and urban development, are among the primary targets.
'They Want to Erase My Achievements'
'This is nothing but a coordinated attack by the radical left,' Trump declared. 'They can't stand that we delivered real results for American families, so now they're trying to rewrite history.' The former president insisted the proposed cuts would harm vulnerable communities that benefited from his policies.
Democratic Defenders Push Back
Democratic lawmakers have countered these claims, arguing the budget adjustments reflect changing priorities and necessary fiscal responsibility. 'This administration inherited numerous poorly managed programs that failed to deliver promised results,' said one senior Democratic aide. 'We're simply reallocating resources to where they're needed most.'
The escalating war of words highlights the ongoing political tensions in Washington as both parties position themselves ahead of the next election cycle. Housing advocates warn that the partisan battle could delay critical funding decisions affecting millions of Americans.
