More from the article ...

... And he told POLITICO Friday night that he is confident Americans will be receptive to his economic message: that his administration is cleaning up the mess he inherited from former President Joe Biden.

"I think it's going to be about the success of our country. It'll be about pricing," Trump said in an exclusive interview. "Because, you know, they gave us high pricing, and we're bringing it down. Energy's way down. Gasoline is way down." ...

"Pricing"

that looks more like Pres Trump's campaign phlegm.

The issue is "affordability" and not "pricing."

Will Pres Trump's campaign be successful in changing the topic of discussion?

imo, too soon to tell ...

"Energy's way down."

It's up 6.6% YTD.

The prevaricating sack of schitttt can't say two sentences without one of them being a lie.

"Pricing"

Clearly, "affordability" did NOT poll well for him.

And he's flailing.

@#4 ... And he's flailing. ...

Yeah, his WH speech a few days ago, where he just yelled at Americans for 20 minutes on Prime Time TV, seems to indicate that he knows he has a problem.

I am watching how he may try to solve that problem.

So far, as your comment notes, he's flailing.

Trying to rely more upon dicta than actions.

So ...
Affordability.

And once the administration begins trying to force lower prices, MAGA will cheer it while intentionally ignoring the fact that it goes completely against the ethos they've claimed to live by their entire lives. Trump will try to force markets by government intervention more than any Dem in our lifetime, but they'll remain silent and intentionally oblivious to that fact.

Remember wage and price controls?
Going off the Gold standard?

Who was responsible for that, MAGATARDS?
