WASHINGTON — Americans are witnessing a remarkable split screen: on one side, President Trump and Congressional Republicans delivering peace and prosperity; while on the other, Democrats in Washington have accomplished just one thing — a government shutdown.
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE SPLIT SCREEN
While Democrats focus on political theater and shutting down the government, Republicans are producing real results across every front — at home and abroad.
LOWER TAXES, LOWER COSTS, STRONGER FAMILIES
The Working Families Tax Cut bill is delivering direct relief to middle-class families — cutting taxes, lowering premiums, and restoring accountability in federal health care programs.
- 15% tax cut for Americans making between $30,000 and $80,000 per year.
- No tax on tips or overtime pay.
- Boosting the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 for 40 million families.
- The CBO projects $185 billion in taxpayer savings thanks to the elimination of fraud and improper payments that Democrats want restored.
- The Working Families Tax Cut Act would reduce premiums nationwide.
- 2.3 million ineligible enrollees removed from Obamacare subsidies, ensuring health benefits go only to those who qualify.
Republicans are fueling economic growth by restoring fiscal discipline and rebuilding American industry after years of Democrat waste and inflation.
- The U.S. inflation rate stands at 2.9% — down sharply from a 9% peak under Democrat leadership.
- The U.S. has collected nearly $200 billion in tariff revenue since ‘Liberation Day’ in April.
PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH
- President Trump brokered a historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas — ending years of violence, securing the release of hostages, and restoring stability in the Middle East.
- President Trump ended 7 wars in his first 7 months back in office.
- Obliterated Iran’s nuclear sites.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the White House this week at President Trump’s invitation.
- The U.S. military is seeing record-high recruitment numbers under President Trump’s leadership.
- U.S. Army: Highest recruitment in 15 years.
- U.S. Air Force: Highest recruitment in 15 years
- U.S. Navy: Best recruitment year in two decades.
SECURING THE BORDER AND PROTECTING COMMUNITIES
- $170 billion provided through the WFTC for border security and immigration enforcement — including $75 billion in additional funding for ICE.
- U.S. Customs and Border Patrol apprehended roughly 6,300 illegal aliens at the Southwest border in August – a year-over-year decrease of 90%.
- Crime in Washington, D.C. continues to decline sharply under Republican-backed law enforcement funding:
- Violent crime down nearly 30% from 2024
- Homicides down 25%, robberies down 39%, assault down 14%
- Overall crime is down 11%
THE DEMOCRAT SIDE OF THE SPLIT SCREEN
- Shut down the United States government.
- Voted NINE times to keep it closed — blocking the same “clean” continuing resolution they once supported.
- Left millions of Americans without pay or basic services while demanding $1.5 TRILLION in new spending — including taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.
- Voted for a record tax increase on the American people.
- Achieved RECORD-HIGH disapproval from the American people.
BOTTOM LINE
On one side of the screen, Democrats have shut down the government, driven up costs, and lost the trust of the country.
On the other side of the screen, President Trump and Republicans are governing — restoring peace abroad, rebuilding prosperity at home, and re-establishing law and order.
