“The midterm elections are getting closer, and the Trump administration’s explanations for rising inflation are getting further from what many voters and independent economists are describing,” the Washington Sun reports.
“Trump’s economic policy advisers have zeroed in on indicators like wages, GDP and stock market growth to sell Americans on a humming economy. Americans are reporting a different experience. In a July Pew Research Center poll, 60% of U.S. adults said that President Donald Trump’s second-term policies have made the economy worse.”
“The dissonance has reminded former Biden officials of a dynamic they caution can be a losing battle: trying to explain the economy to American voters.”
