“In the final weeks before the midterms, President Trump has been trying to convince voters that the economy is booming on his watch,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Trump: “You’re making more money per individual than at any time in the history of our country.”

“But his message is drawing more criticism than support almost everywhere else, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of thousands of TikTok videos, podcast episodes, cable-news segments and TV ads running in the most competitive congressional races. On the slice of TikTok reviewed by the Journal, videos disputing Trump’s economic claims outnumber supportive ones about 16 to one, and Republican ads in close races barely mention him when they talk about the economy.”

“President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at bringing down housing costs in a bid to show that his administration is addressing voters’ affordability concerns in the final sprint to the midterm elections,” Bloomberg reports.

“The order would direct the Federal Housing Finance Agency to create a pilot program that would proactively cancel mortgage insurance on certain loans, limited to future mortgages. The move would potentially save some borrowers money in cases where their home values have sufficiently appreciated.”
