Trump policies will 'hurt the red states he wants to protect': expert

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's proposed policies could negatively impact the very red states he aims to protect, according to experts. Trump's plans include significant tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, which could lead to reduced federal funding for states that rely heavily on federal aid, many of which are Republican strongholds. These states, often rural and with lower median incomes, benefit from federal programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and infrastructure projects. The article highlights that cutting these funds could exacerbate economic disparities, increase poverty, and strain state budgets. Furthermore, Trump's environmental deregulation might lead to environmental degradation in these areas, potentially harming local economies dependent on natural resources and tourism. The piece also notes that while Trump's base might support his policies ideologically, the practical outcomes could be detrimental to their economic well-being.
