“Republicans in Washington came away from the recent elections with a clear takeaway: focus on the high cost of living or risk big losses in next year’s midterms,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“President Trump isn’t convinced.”
“The president said this past week that Republicans aren’t talking enough about his administration’s successes, and he dismissed questions on voters’ concerns regarding the economy. Most prices are on the downswing, he argued.”
Said Trump: “Our energy costs are way down. Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. And the press doesn’t report it. So, I don’t want to hear about the affordability. Because right now, we’re much less.”
