Donald Trump used a White House picnic on Tuesday to hail what he called a 'thriving' US economy, but then appeared to concede that many Americans are not feeling the benefits, telling guests: 'We have an economy, people aren't seeing it yet.'
The remarks came at the annual Congressional Picnic on the South Lawn, where the president sketched a rosy picture of record stock market highs, easing inflation, and what he described as historic job figures. He presented his administration as the engine of a powerful economic rebound, even as official data and market signals paint a more mixed, and more anxious, picture.
