This is going to be a big problem for Republicans moving forward.
It's something that Democrats are really centering their campaigns around.
President Trump talks all the time about how prices are coming down or America's economy is the envy of the world, but that just doesn't line up with how a majority of Americans actually feel day to day.
I recently talked to the president about this, and
He acknowledged that affordability is an issue in the upcoming midterms.
And he talks about the investments he's brought to the U.S., the fact that it'll take some time for voters to feel their effect or that he thinks prices will be in better shape in the next half of the year.
But this is going to be a big problem for Republicans moving forward.
It's something that Democrats are really centering their campaigns around.
One of the things I did ask him is if he would lower tariffs on any additional goods, but he wouldn't say.
But we have heard Treasury Secretary Besant say that there could be refunds from the tax cuts in Trump's big bill.
And, you know, they've tried to do things like aid packages for farmers.
They've
cut back certain regulations.
And a big thing for Trump, too, are some of these investments that he's bringing to the U.S.
And I think we're going to see more of those in the coming year.
But when we'll actually see that have any notable change or impact how voters feel about anything, I think is yet to be seen.
There's definitely been a pattern here where the president announces some sweeping economic policy and it's met with actual turmoil in the markets as investors try to figure out in real time what the president and his advisors have planned. The White House has said this is all part of a negotiation tactic by the president and his advisors.
After they put the 90-day pause on the tariffs, with the exception of China, they said that's because so many countries were coming to the table and trying to make a deal. And Caroline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has urged people to have patience. And yet at the same time, we know that the president watches the markets very carefully.
And we know that he's aware of how economists and even CEOs who have come to the White House have told him that these tariffs are having serious implications or could have serious implications on supply chains, and we've already seen how they've impacted things like consumer confidence.
The president and the White House basically say they can walk and chew gum at the same time with this, that they're going to be enacting this policy serious realignment of global trade and at the same time, boosting manufacturing and investments here in the US.
