... 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.

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

imo, too soon to tell ...

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.
