Donald Trump’s response to the affordability crisis is “stunning” for its failure to account for political risks, according to an economics expert.
Gene Sperling, a senior Biden adviser who also led the National Economic Council in the Obama and Clinton administrations, appeared on MS NOW on Thursday where he was asked about Trump’s recent comments in which the president mocked the very concept of “affordability.”
“You know, his response to this is just so stunning, just from kind of a political self-interest point,” he said before explaining that Biden himself faced criticism for trying to brag about economic successes when people weren’t feeling them at home.
“And it’s striking how many Americans understand what tariffs are and that they are raising your prices,” he said. “So what’s kind of stunning is he didn’t learn any lesson… And now, at a time when he has an economy that is very iffy, very iffy. Job numbers, not particularly strong. He’s not just deemphasizing affordability. He’s mocking it.”
