'They always have a hoax. The new word is 'affordability'': Trump addresses inflation concerns at Pa. rally
Trump credits tariffs, manufacturing, fossil fuel policies, and tax changes for lowering costs while a poll shows only 33% of Americans approve of his economic handling.
- President Donald Trump told supporters in Pennsylvania that 'They use the word 'affordability,' and that's their only word. They say, 'Affordability,' and everyone says, 'Oh, that must mean Trump has high prices.' No, our prices are coming down tremendously'.
- At the rally, Trump highlighted energy and data-center steps aimed at lowering costs, citing pro-fossil fuel policies, new auto and artificial intelligence data centers, a $12 billion farmers aid program, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
- A recent AP-NORC Center poll found only a third of American adults approve of Trump's economic handling while the stock market is up this year and growth seems solid for the third quarter despite rising basic household costs.
- The Fed's rate-setting committee is divided over whether to lower borrowing costs again, but missing federal data from the government shutdown complicates the decision and raises inflation concerns.
- Critics including James Carville and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called Trump's messaging politically dumb, while the Trump administration projects prices will fall next year with more AI and manufacturing investment.
