"Today Trump is fully unbridled. Yet, for the first time, finds himself unable to convince majorities that he’s got a magic economic touch. As the situation deteriorates, he’ll have to either reverse course—changing pretty much everything about the way he’s governing—or else go to even greater lengths to control information and manipulate the public."

"For most of his years in office, Trump has benefitted from unearned public trust in his stewardship of the economy. It even kept him afloat in 2020, as he managed to persuade most Americans that the pandemic-induced recession was an act of god, rather than a crisis he exacerbated through deceit and incompetence."

"And think of how many times he promised not to cut Medicare or Medicaid, then bullied Republican members of Congress into passing a budget that takes $1 trillion from Medicaid, threatening to deny millions of Americans access to health care and force rural hospitals to close. Meanwhile, cuts to nutrition programs threaten rural grocery stores."

"Trump campaigned as if he had a foolproof plan to reduce grocery prices on day one, but in fact, grocery prices are up 3 percent year-over-year and reached record highs in 2025. In an example of classic Trump gaslighting, he’s telling people the bald-faced lie that prices are 'WAY DOWN.'"
