President Donald Trump on Wednesday offered House Republicans a window into what’s on his mind just days before they return from an August break, painting an overly rosy picture of the economy and taking a new interest in federal beef regulations.
Speaking to conservative commentator Glenn Beck, Trump repeated his message on still-high prices of just about everything, which multiple polls show is the most-pressing issue for most voters. The president contended prices of consumer items are down across the board, a claim undercut by the latest data released by his own administration.
