Trump claims 'a lot of people don't see' that America has 'the greatest economy right now' as voters vent anger over affordability | Fortune
"Trump, speaking Wednesday at the America Business Forum, said he thinks that communication was the problem, insisting that "we have the greatest economy right now" and that "a lot of people don't see that." "These are the things you have to talk about," Trump told a packed arena at Miami's Kaseya Center that included top business executives, global athletes and political leaders. "If people don't talk about them, then you can do not so well in elections.""
"On digital assets, Trump said that "crypto was under siege; it's not under siege anymore." He pointed to declines in egg and gas prices, and the interest rate, despite the "nincompoop" at the Federal Reserve, a reference to Fed chairman Jerome Powell. Trump referred to his pledge to dissolve 10 existing regulations for every new one he issues, and said "so far for nine months, we're exceeding that.""
A one-year post-election assessment highlighted cheaper consumer goods, falling interest rates, and improved conditions for digital assets alongside an aggressive regulatory rollback policy. A business forum attendance included top executives, global athletes and political leaders. Voter unease about cost of living and personal finances remained evident in off-year election outcomes focused on affordability. Communication and messaging about economic accomplishments were identified as central to public perception. References to Federal Reserve leadership and attempts to link economic metrics to electoral performance underscored the tension between reported economic gains and everyday household concerns.
