You Can't Gaslight the American People Into Thinking the Economy Is Strong [View all]

Every time I do an interview or podcast, someone inevitably asks: What mistakes did Democrats make in 2024 that cost us the election?

And it’s always a little ironic—because while I could talk about that all day (and often do), what I’m watching now is the Republican Party making the exact same mistake.

It’s the mistake of thinking you can spin people out of their own lived experience. That you can gaslight the country into believing the economy is strong… when it’s clearly, tangibly not.

I called this out on Fox News a couple weeks ago. The host and guest laughed—thought it was a gotcha that I pointed out how expensive everything still is under Trump. But a few days later? Fox released a poll showing Trump with a -30% rating on inflation.
