Republican Party representatives believe Donald Trump is “falling into the same trap” as previous president Joe Biden when it comes to economic troubles.
President Trump has continually touted his administration’s economic measures as the greatest the country has ever seen despite the sharp rise in cost of living problems. The president last week suggested he had managed to make “the greatest economy in history” but that he was not receiving the credit he deserved.
He said, “I’ve created the greatest economy in history. But it may take people a while to figure all these things out. All this money that’s pouring into our country is building things right now — car plants, AI, lots of stuff. I cannot tell you how that’s going to equate to the voter. All I can do is do my job.”
Barret Marson, a GOP consultant from Arizona, told NOTUS that Trump is running into the same issues as the Biden administration, and failing to deal with the problems at hand.
Marson said, “Trump is partly falling right into the trap that Biden fell into. Arizona is a pretty big recipient of CHIPS money for TSMC and Intel and whatnot — I don’t notice that. Even though it’s a massive benefit for the state of Arizona, Arizonans really aren’t noticing it, unless you’re directly or maybe maybe indirectly employed in the chip manufacturing industry.”
Fellow Republican Party representatives are in panic mode according to CNN senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes.
She said, “Look, they’re all watching everything closely, and they’ve seen how it’s been reviewed. I will say one thing. The White House worked together as a team, as they often do the inner circle to craft this speech. And they needed a speech in which President Trump would stay on message, that was short, that addressed the economy.”
“Republicans came out of that speech more anxious that the messaging around the economy was not where it should be going into 2026, and that the party as a whole was not really solidified in that messaging about the economy, especially when it came to all of this blame on the previous administration.”
