DONALD TRUMP will be inaugurated as US president on January 20 2025. His presidency increases the risk of: nuclear confrontation, war, military escalation in Palestine and the Middle East, China, Latin America, runaway climate breakdown, a low-pay economy, as well as the ramping up of far-right racism, attacks on migrant, refugee, women’s, abortion, LGBT+ rights and undermining the sovereignty of nations.
Trump was elected against the backdrop of a floundering economy that hit the US people hard. Forbes estimated Trump’s net worth at $5.5 billion, but while Trump lives in luxury this billionaire has no solutions for the cost-of-living crisis for the many. Trump’s insistence that the NHS is “on the table” in trade deals threatens to escalate the privatisation of the NHS.
On the day of his inauguration “Together Against Trump” will be uniting against and protesting this far-right, reactionary agenda that threatens people and the planet.
