White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed on Fox News that the United States is more affordable under President Donald Trump while criticizing progressive Democratic candidates. “Thanks to President Trump and Republicans and common sense policies across the board, our country is safer, our country is more affordable,” Leavitt said.
Economic data strongly contradicts Leavitt's claims, showing consumer prices up 3.5 percent year-over-year and gasoline prices exceeding $4 per gallon. Polling from Marquette Law School reveals that only 33% of Americans feel financially comfortable, reflecting a ten-percentage-point drop since earlier this year.
