people feel Trump has fallen so short on the economy and taking care of the middle class is because of inflation.
Trump said over and over again, and some people in the administration have been very publicly gaslighting, in my opinion, the country saying, hey, inflation's not happening.
Inflation is happening.
And Trump sold people that prices would go down
We're back up to 3% inflation, folks.
Not only is it not going down, it's going up.
And I think when you put together what people are seeing, this focus on a big ballroom being added, focus on tariffs, things that Americans are not seeing hit their wages, and they're seeing their kids not be able to get jobs, that 9%, this is what's concerning Americans.
Trump has failed the middle class.
That's the bottom line here.
The country does, 66% of them.
And people are seeing equity holders like us, people in crypto get rich.
We're all up 20, 30% this year.
And the working man in this country and the working woman is not.
That's the truth of it.
And I think that's why, and 60%, by the way, 60, 65% of the country blame the Republicans for the shutdown and people aren't getting food stamps and people aren't getting paid and people see their healthcare prices are about to spike.
So we're doing all these tax cuts.
It's great that the economy's ripping for equity holders, but there's a reason why two-thirds of the country feels this administration has failed the working man.
It's time to get back to work.
It's time for Trump and his group to get focused on the people who put them there, not just the people like us who are extremely affluent already.
What do you think, Brad?
