In a fiery sermon that has since gone viral, Rev. Marcus Haynes, a well-known civil rights pastor from Atlanta, took direct aim at former President Donald Trump, accusing him of creating policies that suffocate the poor while enriching the already powerful.
“Let the poor breathe don’t kill them!” Haynes shouted from the pulpit, his voice echoing through a packed church and now across social media platforms. “Every time you strip healthcare, every time you raise rent with no control, every time you cut food stamps, it’s a slow, silent violence. And Trump, you started that fire.”

Rev. Haynes’ remarks come amid growing frustrations across America’s working class, as inflation bites deeper and affordable housing becomes nearly impossible to find. While current leadership shares the responsibility, Haynes laid a large part of the blame on Trump’s economic legacy.
“He gave billionaires a tax break and told us to be grateful,” Haynes continued. “But the poor are choking in this country. Somebody has to say it.”
Online, the phrase “Let the Poor Breathe” began trending on X (formerly Twitter), with thousands using the hashtag to highlight stories of everyday financial struggle. Many echoed Haynes’ sentiment, saying Trump’s policies from slashing social services to emboldening corporate greed left millions worse off.
Critics of Haynes say he’s using the pulpit to push politics, but supporters see it differently.

“Speaking truth to power is what prophets do,” said civil rights activist Tamika Mallory. “If Trump can campaign in churches, then pastors can call him out from the same stage.”
As America barrels toward another presidential election, the voices of people like Rev. Haynes are growing louder. And this time, they’re not just asking for help they’re demanding to breathe.
