TRUMP downplays economic woes as partisan spin, saying, ‘costs are way down’


Wednesday, November 12, 2025 -President Donald Trump is pushing back against recent economic warnings, calling concerns over rising prices and inflation “partisan spin” and insisting that costs for Americans are actually declining.


Speaking at a rally, Trump argued that reports of financial strain are exaggerated by political opponents and that everyday expenses, from groceries to gas, are trending lower.

Economists, however, caution that while certain sectors may see temporary relief, the broader economy still faces persistent inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, and rising interest rates.

Consumer sentiment surveys suggest many Americans continue to feel the pinch, challenging Trump’s optimistic framing of the situation.

Trump’s statements appear aimed at rallying his base ahead of the upcoming election cycle, framing economic criticism as politically motivated rather than grounded in data.

Analysts note that his messaging underscores the growing divide in how political leaders and the public perceive the nation’s economic trajectory.
