At a recent cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump delivered sharp criticism against Democratic Party messaging regarding economic issues, particularly focusing on the term “affordability.” The president claimed that Democrats engage in a deceptive practice by merely using this word without providing concrete measures or benefits to citizens.
Trump stated during his opening remarks: “There’s this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about affordability. They just say the word. It doesn’t mean anything to anybody.” He argued that while he inherited severe economic challenges, specifically mentioning the worst inflation in history under previous administrations, the current focus on “affordability” is a form of political con job.
He emphasized that since assuming office last year, his administration has effectively curbed inflation by bringing down energy and fuel costs. Trump insisted, “Our prices now for energy and gasoline are really low.” He framed this reduction as foundational to broader economic stability but added: “But the word affordability is a Democrat scam… No, they had the worst inflation in the history of our country.”
The president also noted that despite progress against inflation, further action remains necessary. “There’s still more to do,” he stated.
