“President Trump promised during the campaign to lower prices on day one of his presidency. But with costs still high, Republicans are worried the same economic factors that helped Trump win the election could come back to bite him if inflation remains stubborn,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“In his frequent public appearances and social-media posts, Trump is more likely to talk about federal workers, diversity programs and foreign policy than the price of eggs. That is a contrast from last year’s presidential campaign, when Trump, urged by his advisers, made high costs a centerpiece of his bid to retake the White House.”
“Republicans, who still pin the blame on Trump’s predecessor, say voters have been willing to give Trump some leeway to enact his agenda—but they warn that goodwill might not last.”
