** One Year In: Trump’s Economy in Five Numbers
------------------------------------------------------------

One year into his second term, President Trump has broken his number one promise to the American people – that he would lower costs “on day one” and make life more affordable.

It’s gotten so bad that Trump has seemingly given up on lowering costs for everyday Americans, content to call affordability a “hoax” and give his economy an “A+++++” grade ([link removed]) (the American people give it a C- ([link removed]) ) to try and gaslight his way out of the mess he made.
