Voters overwhelmingly think Trump is making the economy worse (FOX poll)

That may be true, but in Trump's case it has gotten to a climax. When virtually every news story on Trump takes a negative spin, there's a problem. The news is no longer some impartial observer reporting on events but rather has taken a side and is now purveying propaganda. That is a huge problem.

That's where the MSM is at today with regard to Trump.

In terms of economic news, what I see the MSM doing is putting a negative spin on everything Trump does with regard to the economy but crouches it in terms of opinion, speculation, and hand wringing. They ignore what the economy is actually doing unless it fits their narrative which at least up to this point is mostly not what they claim would happen.

Is the economy doing great? Meh. I think it could be doing better but it certainly isn't the doom and gloom disaster the MSM tries to paint. If it were the Biden - Harris economy they'd be telling us how great it's doing. I don't accept their version of things and try to find actual data on what's happening rather than highly biased opinion and speculation.

The negativity towards Trump by the media is nothing new and really helped propel him back into office. People are almost numb to it at this point.

Not everyone watches the nightly news. Not everyone's life revolves around politics. But people do recognize the costs of goods at the store, gas station etc. When those go up, people tend not to be happy (especially those for whom money is tight).

The media isn't causing prices to rise. The effects of tariffs are. Trump knew this but these are the policies he has chosen to pursue with the stated goal of bringing back more manufacturing jobs. If the hope is for the MSM to announce "even though these tariffs haven't brought back manufacturing jobs in almost 8 years of implementation, everyone please just be patient because it will happen at some point", I wouldn't hold my breath.

Mr. Tiny Penis, we thought you were going to make shooting us a national pastime.
Second thoughts, or have the local police paid you a visit?

I'm almost certain he's extremely old and in a ton of pain. It's not an excuse for being purposefully ignorant, but it does speak to his emotional responses, reactionary opinions and unstructured arguments aimed at minutiae that do not matter to the subject at hand.

Inflation is roaring as predicted by Trump's economics. Coffee is up 37 percent. Fruits and vegetables are up about 15. We are hearing economists talk about possible stagflation, which is terrible for the citizens. Labor Dept data says inflation is up by almost 3 percent , hiring has slowed and unemployment is climbing. This is a bad combination.

The MAGAS on here laugh when I talk about how coffee has gone up.
That is 37% PER POUND . a 42 oz can was $9.99 back around the first of Jan and is now $ 19.99 per can a 100% increase.
And they keep saying go some where else and get it on sale , well that IS on sale, it was $21,95 at Walmart last week.
IMO inflation is going up a lot more then just 3 %., but that is on the cost of everything not just food.

Trump's tariffs caused this.
