On December 12, Trump posted: "After taking over the high inflation and high prices mess left by Biden, I achieved significant improvement in just 13 months. Current prices are rapidly declining, energy, oil, and gasoline prices have dropped to five-year lows, the U.S. stock market also set a new historical high on the same day, tariffs brought billions of dollars in revenue, the United States has regained international respect, and I built the greatest economy in American history amidst numerous doubts, with no inflation. But I don't understand why I didn't receive praise, and why public opinion polls don't reflect the current prosperity of the United States. Can someone tell me why?"
[Smart] Trump's Illusion of Glory - A Self-Promotion Economic Fairy Tale is Too Addictive! Trump's self-praise is undoubtedly a highlight of the year. He claims there is no inflation while profiting from tariffs, not realizing that these billions in tariffs are essentially a hidden tax on American consumers. The $1.34 trillion fiscal deficit is still there. The five-year low in oil prices and the record high in the stock market cannot hide the concerns about increased corporate costs caused by tariffs. The so-called greatest economy is merely packaging wealth transfer as an economic miracle. Why isn't the public opinion polling reflecting this? The answer is simple: people want real gains in their pockets, not false prosperity from empty talk. After all, no one will cheer for achievements where the wool comes from the sheep, and no one can ignore the underlying economic problems that are being concealed. This self-directed performance of glory will ultimately not be fooled by reality's makeup remover!
