Public Isn't Buying Trump's "A +++++" Economy

A new AP-NORC poll finds that the public is noticing higher prices for a range of items, forcing them to cut back on dolls and pencils basic goods and Christmas gifts. It's a threat to the lying Malignant Fascist for the mid-term elections, as he continues to claim that the economy is going great (for him and his cronies).  From the Associated Press:

"The vast majority of U.S. adults say they’ve noticed higher than usual prices for groceries, electricity and holiday gifts in recent months, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Roughly half of Americans say it’s harder than usual to afford the things they want to give as holiday gifts and similar numbers are delaying big purchases or cutting back on nonessential purchases more than they would normally.

It’s a sobering assessment for the Republican president, who returned to the White House in large part by promising to lower prices, only to find that inflation remains a threat to his popularity just as it did for Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency. The poll’s findings look very similar to an AP-NORC poll from December 2022, when Biden was president and the country was grappling with higher rates of inflation. Trump’s series of tariffs have added to inflationary pressures and generated anxiety about the stability of the U.S. economy, keeping prices at levels that many Americans find frustrating." (our emphasis)

According to the poll, a whopping 68% of the public says the economy is "poor." The MF's rating of the economy as "A +++++" in a recent interview comes across as both out of touch and deceitful. If you're a billionaire grifting off of crypto, collecting bribes from domestic and foreign parties, and selling trinkets with your name emblazoned on them to rubes, then the economy looks good. For the rest of us, nah.
