Donald Trump said he's done a 'very bad job' explaining the economy. Families who can't afford groceries or housing don't need it explained to them.
Costs are still too high, and rising mortgage rates are putting homeownership out of reach. Americans need help, but all this president has to offer is more tariff taxes, more forever wars, and more excuses.
