"The roaring economy is roaring like never before. He cheered the lower cost of gasoline, mortgage rates, prescription drug prices and the rising stock market: Millions and millions of Americans are all gaining. Such optimism, as so many Americans are feeling economic strains, risks painting Trump as out of touch."
"Much of the nation is worried about the direction of the economy, but Trump says the good times are here, insisting repeatedly that rising costs are no longer a problem. Just 39% of U.S. adults approved of Trump's handling of the economy in February, according to AP-NORC polling."
President Trump delivered an optimistic State of the Union address emphasizing economic achievements, citing lower gasoline prices, mortgage rates, prescription drug costs, and stock market gains. He repeatedly asserted that rising costs are no longer problematic and declared the economy is "roaring like never before." However, this positive portrayal conflicts sharply with public sentiment, as only 39% of Americans approved of his economic handling in February polling. Many citizens report feeling economic strain and believe they haven't benefited from his policies. Trump also incorporated patriotic elements by honoring Olympic athletes and war heroes, awarding presidential medals to create a more positive tone while pivoting to criticism of Democrats.
