Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made an appearance on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo this weekend, and was asked about Americans’ concerns over affordability, and Bessent did his best to deflect and blame all of their problems on the Biden administration rather than accepting responsibility for their part in contributing to inflation and soaring food costs. Instead he pretended the Trump administration feels everyone’s pain (they don’t) and doesn’t want to minimize it.
Nevermind Trump was just raging over the weekend that the issue of affordability is just a “con” by Democrats:
President Donald Trump has blasted Democrats for lying about affordability as he struggles to keep his promise to bring down costs.
A series of recent economic and political indicators has put the Trump administration on the defensive, even as the record-long government shutdown comes to an end.
“Affordability is a lie when used by the Dems. It is a complete CON JOB,” Trump wrote in a post on Friday.
He argued that costs under his administration are tumbling down, but data suggest otherwise.
