From prosperity to austerity: Trump’s tone shifts ahead of tariff impacts​

Trump has long promised to unleash a “golden age.” Now he is warning that Americans may have to cut back.

During his campaign and the early part of his current presidency, President Donald Trump promised an economic boom that would take off upon his return to the White House — reviving the American Dream and producing four years of unparalleled prosperity.

Now the Orange Jesus is dictating what Americans can or should buy.

Trump changes his tune on the economy​

President Trump is changing his tune on the economy, suggesting Americans should buy less and will probably pay more and bear the brunt of an uncertain economic landscape as his wide-ranging tariff policy takes effect.

Trump and his economic team have for weeks said the tariffs would result in only short-term pain and that the tumult in the stock market would eventually level out.

President Trump is changing his tune on the economy, suggesting Americans should buy less and will probably pay more and bear the brunt of an uncertain economic landscape as his wide-ranging tariff policy takes effect.

Trump and his economic team have for weeks said the tariffs would result in only short-term pain and that the tumult in the stock market would eventually level out.


But the White House’s messaging has evolved from Trump on the campaign trail promising to lower prices and make America “wealthy” again to Trump suggesting the U.S. needs a cultural shift on consumer spending while accepting that his tariff plan will raise prices.

Trump was asked Sunday by NBC’s Kristen Welker if he would acknowledge that his tariff plan will result in higher prices.

At first, the president suggested tariffs will “make us rich” — similar to sentiments he’s expressed when touting his economic policy. But in the next turn, he suggested that American children, for example, do not need as many toys and that Americans do not need to spend as much money on “junk we don’t need.”

That's weird. Neither Trump nor his MAGA morons said anything before the election about inflicting economic pain on America, short term or otherwise.

Agreed it's weird but then Trump and his MAGAts lie a lot...or are so delusional they can't see past the next day. Sad.

I saw a question on one of the news shows asking if Trump was a socialist after his dictating how many dolls and pencils kids should have. The MAGAts said no, the Lefties says yes, but I think he's in the middle since he's clearly a National Socialist. :)
