Trump Dealing With New Problem
President Trump Slams Democrats for Spreading “Con Job” About Affordability
President Donald Trump is calling out what he says is the latest Democrat hoax — a fake “affordability crisis” designed to scare voters ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Speaking on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, Trump dismissed the rising-costs narrative as pure political theater.
“It’s a con job by the Democrats,” Trump said. “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had. The only thing going up is fake news panic.”
Trump’s remarks come as Democrats and their media allies try to blame Republicans for high prices, ignoring the fact that inflation skyrocketed under Joe Biden and has dropped dramatically since Trump’s return to the White House.
The Truth About the Trump Economy: Strong, Stable, and American-Made
While the corporate media hypes up “price fears,” Trump’s team points to real results:
- Inflation down from a 9% Biden-era peak to just 3%.
- Gas prices and groceries falling across the country.
- A Thanksgiving meal at Walmart down nearly 25% from last year.
“Affordability is what the American people elected President Trump to restore — and he’s delivering,” said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Under Trump’s pro-growth agenda, millions of seniors and middle-class families are seeing relief after years of Biden’s economic pain.
Trump Takes Bold Action to Protect Consumers
While Democrats complain, Trump acts.
- Department of Justice investigation launched into the meatpacking industry for alleged price fixing on beef.
- Tax cuts extended to help retirees and small business owners keep more of their hard-earned income.
- 50-year mortgage plan proposed to lower monthly payments for working families.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the administration inherited “a broken affordability mess” from Biden and is “turning it around faster than anyone thought possible.”
Democrats Panic as Their Inflation Narrative Collapses
Democrats are furious that Trump’s economic message is cutting through. For years, they blamed Republicans for Biden’s record-setting inflation. But now that inflation is cooling and wages are rising, they’ve lost their favorite talking point.
Independent economists and investors have noted that confidence in the economy is rebounding — even Bloomberg reported that mentions of “economic slowdown” on earnings calls are at their lowest since 2007.
Trump’s America: Real Jobs, Real Wages, Real Relief
The Trump administration continues to focus on American energy independence, domestic manufacturing, and lower taxes — the exact policies that made his first term a financial boom for retirees and working families.
“We’ve slowed price increases, wages are rising, and Americans are finally catching a break,” said Treasury Secretary Bessent. “Let’s keep the economy open and let President Trump’s policies finish the job.”
Unlike the Biden years of empty promises and high costs, Trump’s leadership is once again putting America first — and families are feeling it where it counts: their wallets.
Bottom Line: Democrats Want Panic — Trump Delivers Prosperity
With prices falling, wages rising, and confidence growing, Trump’s economic recovery is undeniable. The so-called “affordability crisis” is just another Democrat talking point collapsing under the weight of reality.
“We did a great job on groceries and affordability,” Trump said. “The only problem is the fake news won’t tell you.”
The message is clear: President Trump’s policies are restoring stability, rebuilding confidence, and proving that when America puts its workers and families first — prosperity follows.
