"I'm popular and I've done well. I mean, I think we have the greatest economy actually ever in history"

[Miles Archer]

Trump’s insistence that America is enjoying the “greatest economy ever in history” may end up backfiring on Republicans later this year, warned one GOP consultant on Sunday, as most Americans remain unhappy with the direction of the economy, with an overwhelming majority still living paycheck to paycheck.

“I'm popular and I've done well,” Trump told Fox Business’ Larry Kudlow last week, speaking on the performance of the economy. “I mean, I think we have the greatest economy actually ever in history.”

While several stock market indexes have shown positive growth in recent weeks, for millions of Americans, such growth is “feckless.” Around 40% of Americans don’t have a 401(k) to reap the benefits of a well-performing stock market, and more than half of Americans are unable to afford a single $500 emergency expense.

And yet, Trump has struggled to heed the warnings of some of those around him to acknowledge Americans’ economic hurdles, something that Whit Ayres, a GOP consultant with more than 40 years of experience, warned could end up backfiring in the upcoming midterms spectacularly.

About this rating

On 5 September 2005, Barbara Bush and her husband, former president George H.W. Bush, toured the Astrodome complex in Houston that was being used as temporary lodging for thousands of citizens displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. They visited with evacuees being housed in the stadium, and on their walk-thru of the make-shift quarters that amounted to little more than a sea of cots in a wide open room, they were accompanied by former president Bill Clinton and his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The visit was intended as a bipartisan show of support for victims and a as forum for announcing the creation of the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, a charitable endeavor aimed at facilitating short and long term relief efforts in the afflicted Gulf Coast states.

Later that day, Mrs. Bush was a guest on Marketplace, a show on public radio. During that interview she made these remarks about her interactions with the people quartered in the Astrodome:

Almost everyone I've talked to says, 'We're going to move to Houston.' What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them.

12. "I've got mine" has always been the cornerstone of the Republican Party

I'm surprised they can still put out a contrary "we are the party of the working men and women" message and have voters still believe it.
