Donald Trump took the stage last night to deliver what was supposed to be a celebration of the US economy. He pointed to record stock market highs, falling inflation, and jobs numbers that he claimed were the best in history. But in the middle of all that bragging, he said something that told a very different story.
“We have an economy, people aren’t seeing it yet,” Trump said. A line that stood out sharply against everything else he had just said about America’s thriving economy. It directly contradicts his claim that the US is “winning” and that the economy has never been stronger. The admission was hard to miss.
