Summary
After campaigning on promises to reduce costs for the working class, Donald Trump has largely gone silent on cost-of-living issues since his election.
In a recent interview, he admitted he could not restore grocery prices to 2019 levels without a recession.
While gas prices and groceries are already falling, Trump’s policies focus on government cuts and HB-1 visa expansions, which may harm his base.
Instead of addressing working-class concerns, he has turned to controversial ideas like buying Greenland or reclaiming the Panama Canal, drawing global criticism.
Yeah, I guess I just don’t buy that there was a failing in her messaging. I think many Americans bought into a very unwise narrative, or got comfortable through the Biden admin and checked out. For all of Biden’s faults, at least he was stable, predictable. I think people became complacent through that. They decided that who the sitting president is doesn’t make THAT much of a difference. Unfortunately, when we have an admin that brings us people like Lina Khan while the other brings us Ajit Pai (and all of the current right wing SC justices), it makes a very big difference.
