“As President Donald Trump nears the 100th day of his second term, members of his administration are brushing off a wave of dismal economic polling, insisting that American consumers — and the economy — are still on solid footing despite anxiety over tariffs, inflation and financial market turmoil,” Politico reports.
Trump himself took to Truth Social to defend his strategy: “When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year.”
