White House "SENSES" that SCREAMING "F*CK YOU" to working class America 24/7 isn't helping Trump's "ratings." [View all]

The Post is reporting, “Trump’s plight is a striking turnabout. In last year’s campaign, Trump scored political points by highlighting Americans’ inflation concerns, and President Joe Biden faced the almost impossible task of convincing voters they were not as bad off as they thought.”

Now the president finds himself in the same boat with no indication that he is willing to change course and, as the Post is reporting, White House aides “appears to sense political danger.”

According to Brent Buchanan, CEO of Cygnal, a Republican polling firm, the difference between how Trump sees the reality on the ground and those who have failed to convince him of the dangers has resulted in a muddled message to disenchanted voters.

“The biggest piece is message discipline and acknowledging how people feel — not telling them that things are affordable and you shouldn’t be complaining,” he explained. “If your message is Venezuela one day, Ukraine the next, telling them things are affordable, telling them Democrats made up affordability … voters then become concerned that you are not worried about what they are worried about.”
