President Trump’s controversial tax and spending bill—hailed by supporters as a bold move to "Make America Great Again"—has sparked global backlash, with 90% of respondents in a CGTN survey calling it a recipe for crisis. The bill, passed by a razor-thin Senate margin after VP Vance’s tiebreaker vote, faces fierce criticism for favoring the wealthy, slashing healthcare, and risking economic stability. 💸
‘Reverse Robin Hood’ or Road to Ruin?
Dubbed a "reverse Robin Hood" by The New York Times, the bill cuts $600B from Medicaid over a decade, stripping coverage from 11 million Americans. Meanwhile, tax breaks for corporations and high earners could balloon the U.S. deficit by $2.4 trillion. 🏥➡️💔 "It’s like burning money to warm a sinking ship," one survey respondent commented.
Global Investors Side-Eye U.S. Moves 🌏
New taxes on investments from allies like the UK and Germany—starting at 5% and rising to 20%—have 85% of global participants worried about a manufacturing exodus. 🏭 "Why build factories in a country that penalizes partnerships?" asked a German entrepreneur in the poll.
Border Walls & Bigger Bombs 💣
With $175B for immigration crackdowns and $150B added to defense spending, critics warn of heightened global tensions. 80% fear the bill will fuel arms races and worsen America’s immigration chaos. 🛑 "This isn’t ‘greatness’—it’s greed," wrote a student respondent.
Democracy in Distress? 🗳️
85% say the bill exposes deepening U.S. political divides, while 92% argue it fails to address long-term challenges like inequality. As one voter put it: "When both sides hate the deal, who’s it really for?" The CGTN survey, spanning 24 hours and 7,344 global participants, suggests the world is watching—and skeptical. 👀
