It’s Affordability Week

“President Trump campaigned very effectively in 2024, berating Democrats for high levels of inflation and promising to bring prices down once he won the election. Democrats’ messaging on the economy during the Biden administration was floundering and weak, initially saying rising prices were ‘transitory’ and then, at times, trying to convince Americans that it wasn’t so bad. That didn’t work,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Trump is quickly finding that it’s much easier to wave your arms about affordability than actually address it (Democrats are the ones doing the arm-waving now), and he has three big decisions to make about this conundrum in the coming days and weeks.”
