The main reason behind those inflationary shocks isTrump’s war against Iran, which has caused global energy costs to rise sharply, as reported.
Critics swiftly brought to Leavitt’s attention on social media the financial challenges that most Americans encounter.
“Wildly uncertain as negative views about the economy are increasing rapidly across all groups, including independents and even Republicans. There’s no question that the cost of living remains a primary issue,” Tahra Hoops, director of economic research at the Chamber of Progress,wrote on X.
“It’s amazing how you can simply tell lies every night without any repercussions. Karoline Leavitt tomorrow night on Fox News: Thanks to President Trump, our nation is not engaged in war in the Middle East,” Veterans for Responsible Leadership, a political advocacy group,posted on X.
“They genuinely hold no regard for any of us. This is supposed to be amusing, yet it reveals their belief that we are all fools. We are not,” Fred Wellman, a Democratic candidate for Congress in Missouri,posted on X.
