He’s also a demented old fool.something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

President Donald Trump's aides are reportedly begging him to stop talking about and blaming former President Joe Biden.Well, not everyone.
White House insiders have told Trump that his continued finger pointing at the former president has alienated voters and has contributed to the shift to support Democratic candidates, The Daily Beast reported Tuesday.
Trump has continued to make "fantastical claims" that the economy he inherited was Biden's fault, despite calls from Americans asking the president to address the rising cost of living and soaring food prices, The Beast wrote.
"The optics of Trump’s diminished response to voters’ economic concerns have become so damaging that the president will launch a public-appearance tour beginning in Pennsylvania on Tuesday to convince people the economy is improving under his second term," The Beast reported.
Trump — who promised electors an improved economy — has not shown those results and will apparently try to focus again on his economic message in his upcoming domestic travel and ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, where Republican candidates are expected to face a fight to maintain the majority in Congress.
“Joe Biden is no longer a threat to them because he’s out of office, he’s never going to be in office again,” an unnamed Trump adviser told CNN. “You’ve got to feel their pain. You’ve got to talk about it every day.”
His aides are reportedly hoping Trump will shift his tone to recognize Americans' affordability concerns and tackling these challenges.
“Everybody gets it at the White House,” another Trump adviser told CNN. “We’ve got a lot of work to go, and it’s frustrating for the president, but it’s what we’ve got to deal with.”

He is so out of touch and in the fantasy bubble you created that he will help Dems flip the House even more.
Oh, and we love his interview below so much that we will absolutely highlight it to voters. https://t.co/ab7oYEJPIx
