One Trump voter told NBC News that while she believes Trump “deep down” wants to boost the economy, “he is busy out of the country” and focused on “demolishing the White House.”
The shutdown is compounding problems that have intensified broader anxiety over an economy that in recent months has been marked by lingering high prices for many consumer goods, rough jobs numbers, mass layoffs at major companies — including Amazon and Target — and an uptick in inflation.
That stagnation has in recent months eroded the high approval marks Donald Trump once enjoyed on the economy.
The bleak picture has some Republicans sounding the alarm to the White House — even though delivering the news isn’t easy.
“No one wants to tell the president he’s losing on the economy,” said a Republican strategist who said they recently warned the White House about their concerns.
Anything the regime focuses on is also in trouble
Uh, who wants to tell NBC News that Trump “focusing on” the economy is precisely why it’s in trouble?
I think the article has it backwards: the foreign policy stuff and the White House remodel are just distractions for the benefit of the rest of us, because Trump has finally figured out that, “Who knew that the economy is so hard?”
We got the first inkling that he understands he messed up by his sudden abandoning of the China policy. He pretty much gave up on his own tariff war without anything to show for. I guess the Europeans are probably fuming now because they made unilateral concessions they didn’t need to make.
This title is weird. Like, no shit, but also if he was focusing it wouldn’t mean it suddenly is better.
Yeah I was kinda thinking the same. Like, it’s in trouble because of dumb shit he is doing, so yeah he isn’t focused on it now, but if he was it would just get worse…
As if he’s a Jedi (more like a Sith) that’s holding up the economy with the power of the force. 🙄 Ask him and the economy and he’ll say it’s booming, so what would he do differently if he’s wasn’t “distracted”?
But he’s gotta have his ballroom
Quite a big one for a guy without balls.
Remember how one of the main reasons people voted for Trump was the economy? CNN exit polls on election day showed the top two priorities of Trump voters were immigration and the economy. Are those who voted based on the economy happy now?
