Trump’s Economic Messaging Isn’t Working

Paul Krugman: “It may be that Trump is — bear with me here — actually paying a price for telling Americans not to believe their own eyes. As I’ve written recently, it’s important not to engage in false equivalence. Biden and company told Americans that their incomes were outpacing inflation, which was true but not what people wanted to hear. Trump keeps insisting that grocery prices are way down, which is simply a lie. And people may be noticing.”

“The absolute absurdity of the Trump team’s efforts to explain away bad economic news may also be taking a toll.”
